CLA volunteer divers and Watershed Friends divers recently worked together to survey and pull Eurasian WaterMilfoil from Cobbossee in the area near Upper and Lower Sisters. While they were very successful, the size of the infestation and having to pull by hand found us short of scuba tanks and made us have to refill constantly effecting efficiency.

Knowing how important it is to be able to get a job like this done quickly, we would like to purchase 10 additional scuba tanks to be used on Cobbossee in the future.

Here's how you can help:

1. Donate $269 to cover the cost of one tank. And if you'd like, we can put a sticker with your name or business on the tank and we'll acknowledge your generosity in social media.

2. If we don't "sell" all of the tanks for $269 each, we'll conduct a "reverse auction" to raise the balance needed. You'll be able to "bid" any amount to help us raise the total of $2,700 needed to purchase the 10 tanks.

Having these additional scuba tanks will help Watershed Friends and CLA protect Lake Cobbosseecontee! Please consider supporting this important need.
