GET INVOLVED
There are lots of ways to support a clean Okoboji if you have time to volunteer. Below are a few programs OPA supports for a clean Okoboji.
CLAMP
Care about clean water and love being out on the lakes? You can help make a difference by volunteering for the Cooperative Lakes Area Monitoring Project (CLAMP) coordinated by the Iowa Lakeside Lab. CLAMP volunteers work in teams to collect and process water samples to check nutrient and algae levels in the lakes, test the lake temperature and oxygen levels, and measure for clarity. For more information or if you're interested in volunteering, email Megan Vigdal at [email protected].
We work with some great organizations, including:
| Clean Water Alliance | Ducks Unlimited | East Okoboji Lakes Improvement Corps |
| Friends of Lakeside Lab | Iowa Environmental Council | Iowa Great Lakes Association |
| Iowa Department of Natural Resources | Iowa Lakeside Laboratory | Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation |
| Keep Okoboji Blue | Pheasants Forever | Protect Your Waters |
| Spirit Lake Protective Association | Water Safety Council |
