On June 27, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced its annual forecast for the expected Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Severity Index score for western Lake Erie this summer. The media event was held at Ohio State University’s F. T. Stone Laboratory biological field station, located on Gibraltar Island at Put-in-Bay.
And, the news is not so good for the annual bloom that plagues the Western Basin of Lake Erie.
