Toxic Bloom: The Battle for Clean Water

Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance members and UW-Oshkosh student scientists discuss the growing issue of harmful algal blooms (also known as blue-green algae or cyanobacteria) in Lake Winnebago and nearby waterways. Learn how these toxic blooms—caused by nutrient buildup and warm water—can harm humans, animals and vegetation. Examine bacteria under microscopes and gain insight into local solutions for keeping our waters clean and thriving.
