Lake Erie algae bloom early warning model being tested
Published: , in Outdoor News
Scientists successfully developed an experimental forecast that can better predict the timing and location of an elevated risk of toxins from harmful algal blooms (HABs) on Lake Erie, thanks to recent research from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and a team of university collaborators.
Harmful algal blooms on Lake Erie produce toxins, called microcystins, that can pose health risks to people and pets and may also require additional treatment from public drinking water systems.
