Community Calendar

Community Science Institute (CSI) invites you to its very first “HABby Hour” — an informal, informative public event dedicated to understanding Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) on Cayuga Lake.
Since 2018, CSI has worked with volunteers to monitor Cayuga Lake’s shoreline for HABs, collecting important data and helping to protect one of our region’s most cherished natural resources. During HABby Hour, CSI’s experienced staff and dedicated volunteers will be on hand to answer your questions, interpret data trends, and dispel common misconceptions about HABs. This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from the people behind the science.
Enjoy a beautiful evening on the lakefront with complimentary hors d'oeuvres provided by Cayuga Shoreline, and take advantage of the full bar and menu available for purchase. Best of all, a portion of the evening’s proceeds will be donated to CSI in support of our mission to safeguard local water resources through science and community engagement.
Whether you're a lake resident, a concerned citizen, or just curious about what's happening in your watershed, we hope you’ll join us for this fun and educational evening.
