Join ANJEC and our guests from Montclair State University’s Traveling HAB Lab. As harmful algal blooms (HABs) increase in frequency, duration, and magnitude worldwide, the health of humans, domestic animals, and wildlife are increasingly threatened by HABs. The Traveling HAB Lab aims to empower residents of New Jersey to protect our aquatic ecosystems and water resources. We also aim to increase awareness of the health risks associated with exposure to HABs and provide knowledge on how to protect yourself, your loved ones, and pets from HABs.

Join ANJEC and our guests from the Hamline University Center for Global Education in Minnesota.  They will teach you about their Adopt-a-Drain program and how you can use it to reduce litter and increase the effectiveness of your stormwater system.

Adopt-a-Drain is a community engagement program aimed at protecting local waterways.  It includes tools that communities can use to keep their water clean and reduce street flooding. The program is based on extensive research and best practices in environmental psychology and behavior change and was refined through focus groups with residents and local water organizations.
