Cyanobacteria and Canada’s Great Lakes
Canada's Great Lakes are facing a growing issue with cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, which can produce toxic blooms that harm aquatic life and pose a risk to human health. These blooms are often caused by human activities such as agricultural runoff, wastewater discharge, and urban development, which can lead to eutrophication and deplete oxygen levels in the water. Learn about how we can address this issue in this blog post!
