NOAA, Partners Predict Severe Harmful Algal Bloom for Lake Erie

Heavy June rains causing heavy nutrient runoff into lake basin

This image shows the extent of the Lake Erie algal bloom at its height in 2013 (top) and 2014 (bottom). Orange and red show concentrations that may cause scums and other issues. Different areas are affected in the two years because of wind patterns. The data came from NASA's Aqua satellite and was analyzed by NOAA's Center for Coastal Ocean Science.This image shows the extent of the Lake Erie algal bloom at its height in 2013 (top) and 2014 (bottom).
