An article recently appeared on the front page of The Citizen, Auburn, NY, on April 16, 2012.  The article focuses on the scientific data of Dr. John Halfman of the Finger Lakes Institute and his research on Owasco Lake.

Dr. Halfman presented his data on March 3, 2012, at “Owasco Lake Day…Own It,” an event held at Cayuga Community College and co-sponsored by the Owasco Lake Watershed Association (OWLA) and a host of regional and Cayuga County agencies. Dr. Halfman’s half-hour presentation was recorded by award-winning videographer Peter Cramer.
