Water Quality Monitoring
Flathead Lake Biological Station (FLBS) has served as the “Sentinel of the Lake” since 1899. This long history of research and monitoring has generated significant scientific discovery and insight and has contributed to one of the best long-term water quality records in the world.
FLBS water quality monitoring helps generate science-based decisions that protect the health of the Flathead Lake-River ecosystem and the wellness of all of those who live and play on Flathead waters.
