Watch Party: Feeding the Blooms

Lake Erie’s annual toxic algal blooms are fed by runoff from agricultural land in the Maumee River watershed. Some farmers have taken steps to reduce the amount of runoff from their fields.

In this “watch party,” originally broadcast on Facebook, Great Lakes Now Program Director Sandra Svoboda chats with Producer David Ruck from Great Lakes Outreach Media. They answer some audience questions about the show.
