The key takeaways from the 2021 monitoring season are:
• Tuck Lake continued to have less-clear water, with high nutrient concentrations and high algal growth. • Tuck Lake has contrasting trends in nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, which is not common. Phosphorus concentrations have increased over time, while nitrogen concentrations have decreased. • An algal bloom was sampled for toxin testing in July. No algal toxins were detected in this sample.

The average of these three TSI indicators during the growing season can be used to place lakes in one of three broad categories: <40 = oligotrophic (low productivity), 40 to 50 = mesotrophic (moderate productivity) >50 = eutrophic (highly productive).
