[All] Fw: Lake Erie HAB Bulletin 2011 - September 2

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi folks
Below is an email I got from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showing the alga in Erie.  Note  how the alga is now floating in proximity to the proposed INTAKE areas of the proposed Lake Erie pipeline. The bloom is Cyanobacteria aka blue-green algae. 
Here's a quick link to information on it's toxiocology from the World Health Organization:http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/diseases/cyanobacteria/en/index.html
If you drink or bath in this stuff, it's pretty bad.
