The LERNZ programme is a series of projects that aims to restore
indigenous biodiversity in lakes by developing:
- New models and technologies to effectively manage harmful
algal blooms.
- New pest fish management and control technologies.
- A city retrofit model.
LERNZ aims to identify and remediate threats
to lake ecosystems. Through better knowledge of these threats
and ways to manage them, improved methods for lake restoration
can be developed.
