In order to accurately asses the status of the lake, regular monitoring must take place
	We advise:
	Water monitoring throughout summer-Characterization sites: 1, 2, 3
		Transparency: and dissolved oxygen readings taken bi-weekly throughout the summer
		Phosphorus-monthly tests of surface and epicore
		Water quality monitoring is a good opportunity for community members to get involved in improving the health of TMP.
		Volunteers from all backgrounds can participate in the summer water sampling through the Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program that has been successful in other Maine lakes.
