Algae Blooms Increasing in Lake Michigan

Beach managers and scientists in the Great Lakes are reporting a marked increase in algae blooms in their lakes. Following is a report by the Michigan Environmental Council that details more information and what can be done to solve it.

"Something's Amuck, Algae Blooms Return to Michigan Shores" (June 2006)

Interestingly, a lot of what is covered in the section on how to solve the problem are some of the same strategies and tips included in our "Every Drop Counts" brochure sent to residents last fall.
