The Experimental Lakes Area, west of Vermilion Bay, will embark on a new study put on hold for the past year because of COVID-19.
Executive Director Matt McCandless says they’ll be moving ahead with a much publicized project to ensure our lakes and rivers remain clean and safe.
“We’ll be looking at how wetland plants can actually be used to clean up oil that might spill. So we’re are excited to have that project back up and running this year.”
McCandless expects to have about 30 people working at ELA this summer, about 50% capacity.
He notes last year they had about 12 because of the pandemic.
