ABMI Launches the Algal Bloom Tracker
Organization
The Algal Bloom Tracker provides near real-time monitoring and visualizations of cyanobacterial blooms in six popular recreational lakes across the province (Ethel Lake, Lac La Biche, Sylvan Lake, Nakamun Lake, Pigeon Lake, and Wabamun Lake).
Funded by Alberta Innovates and Alberta Primary and Preventative Health Services and developed through a collaborative pilot project involving twelve provincial partners, the free tracker uses satellite imagery, remote sensing technology, lake sampling, and scientific validation to track bloom activity and support public awareness.

Release of 2026 Update to Conservation and Reclamation Directive for Renewable Energy Operations
Organization
Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (EPA) has published the update to the Conservation and Reclamation Directive for Renewable Energy Operations, released August 4, 2026.
The Conservation and Reclamation Directive for Renewable Energy Operations contains the information needed to complete a registration with EPA for a wind and solar renewable energy operation and all required reporting for the life span of the operation.
The updated Directive has been re-organized to improve readability and includes requirements from the Code of Practice for Solar and Wind Renewable Energy Operations which were not present in the previous version.
The updated Directive can be found here.

Why communities resist saving the planet even when sustainability promises a better future?
Organization
When we talk about climate adaptation, conservation or sustainability, we often assume that resilience is something everyone wants. The logic seems straightforward: Stronger resilience means better protection from floods, droughts, heat waves and ecological disruption. But what happens when communities resist projects that are explicitly designed to make them more resilient?
