likely encountered algae in Lake Erie. Perhaps while down at the beach
at Port Dover, or fishing off Long Point, or paddling out from Cedar
Bay. If you live further west, towards Point Pelee or Pelee Island,
you might have experienced how harmful algae blooms sometimes make the
water too toxic for drinking or swimming.
