The Bay has experienced harmful algae blooms 2 years in a row ☹️

📢 We need your help to prevent future outbreaks!

Tell the Water Board to follow the science & reduce the pollution that leads to algae growth: baykeeper.org/action-alert/alg

Blue-Green algae is filling rivers with toxic sludge.

Harmful algal blooms are taking over as the world warms and grows richer in carbon dioxide—and there’s no easy fix.

“It’s starting to build. Tomorrow, you’ll find that there’s clumps like that all over the river—and then the day after that there’ll be more and more”.

@DrPlanktonguy

Is this unusual for Lake Winnipeg? It's pretty , and shallow get warm, which leads to and related blooms.

Around , Buffalo Pound Lake famously gets huge blooms every year, and has for at least 40 years, maybe longer. Lake, in the city, does too, although not as bad since they dug it deeper a few years ago, so it doesn't get as warm.

It just seems "normal", not a big newsworthy event?

The for dogs/animals is good, though.

Brilliant start to day 4 of : Plenary from @TheFosterLab with a fascinating look at the use of coralline algae for innovation in reconstructions! So much un-tapped potential, with importance for understanding the past so we can better predict the future!

Hydrogen opponents often point to carbon footprint of SMR H2 as a problem. In fact 50% of SMR H2 comes from splitting the steam molecule. 50% of CO2 comes from burning natural gas for process heat. What if a carbon neutral non food feedstock such as algae biomass was used instead of nat gas?

feeds on nitrogen and phosphorus ions secreted by the that grow on them; they also eat the algae directly to access that sweet, sweet nitrogen and phosphorus. They also encourage the growth of particularly useful algae, which the researchers liken to farming.

Weird request: do I know anyone in or near who farms any kind of ? Literally anything as long as it's mostly that (ie. not a fish tank with a tiny bit of algae growing in it, a full tank of algae). Can I smell your algae (not a thing I've asked before)? It's for a thing I'm writing…

Reviving a famously polluted California lake.

Knowable Magazine reports: "Clear Lake, the state’s largest freshwater body of water, is fouled each year by algal blooms, one of many assaults endured by the battered ecosystem. Can a multipronged plan help it recover?"
