World Lake Day 27 August 2025
It’s World Lake Day on 27 August 2025, and at EOS Ecology we love lakes, and have been producing a few outputs about them recently! We’re really proud to share that our Senior Graphic Designer, Bronwyn Gay, has spent the last few years working with Natasha Grainger, Deniz Özkundakci and Tracie Dean-Speirs on the design and layout of their Hidden Gems of the Waikato book. They’re the editors of this passion project, which began during the COVID lockdown, and evolved into a substantial publication with over 80 contributing authors. It’s packed with scientific, local, and cultural insights about the Waikato Lakes, and the design needed to weave these varying styles of storytelling together visually. The thoughtful design helps showcase these stories about the region’s unique freshwater ecosystems. If you haven’t got your own copy yet, then head to The Best Little Book Store to get one while you can!
“Bronwyn has done an amazing job with the layout and design of the book. We are getting lovely feedback – everyone keeps telling us how beautiful the book is. Bronwyn is great to work with and I would recommend her to anyone needing a graphic designer for their publication.” Natasha Grainger, Team Leader – Biodiversity, Biodiversity, Integrated Catchment Management Waikato Regional Council – Te Kaunihera ā Rohe o Waikato!
On the same topic, our Science and Science Interpretation & Design teams have developed a poster infographic for the general public illustrating the different lake mixing types, and how they can affect a lakes Trophic Level Index (TLI) – a measure of ecosystem health. It also describes the different types of lakes we have in Aotearoa. This was produced through the ‘Wai Connection’ project, and you can download an A3 PDF of the poster for free below or email info@eosecology.co.nz for free A0 poster artwork for your printer (yep, we’ll provide that artwork and printers specifications for free as well!).
