Harmful algal blooms are likely to persist on Lake Erie, primarily due to climate change, land use, invasive species and farming practices.
An active storm season this May and June may be a contributing factor.
Each week, Great Lakes Echo features a photo story about a different Area of Concern designated by the U.S. or Canadian governments in the Great Lakes basin. Guess where the area is located, based on the description of the site.
Toxic chemicals clinging to plastics could cause health problems for fish and other organisms in the Great Lakes.
Researchers are studying if plastic particles may distribute the chemicals which otherwise accumulate in sediments.

Dam removal in the Great Lakes region exposes nutrient-rich bottomlands.
That creates prime real estate for invasive plants.
Restoration solutions include poisoning the invaders with pesticides and spreading native plant seeds to revegetate the bottomlands.
Echo reporters visited Lewton Elementary School in South Lansing, Mich., to find out what kids know about snow days.
In the second set of clips, an expert explains the issue in a little more detail.
This week’s expert is Daniel Brown, a research associate from Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments
