Lake Eerie's Algae Problem

   This past year there has been an increase in toxic green algae in the US. According to an article on National Geographic, "experts say harmful algal blooms that can turn tap water toxic and kill wildlife are becoming more common in coastal oceans and in freshwater across the United States and around the globe." Scientists say, "a transition from small farms to industrial-sized operations has increased runoff in recent years, and that climate change, with more intense storms and warmer temperatures." This toxic algae is responsible for the death of many aquatic animals and even affected tap water in Toledo, Ohio.  This is one of the effects of global warming and pollution.
