Latest Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative Projects Address Algal Bloom Impacts on Ohio
 
Researchers from several Ohio universities are leading the latest projects in the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s (ODHE) ongoing Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative (HABRI). The selected projects focus on reducing nutrient loading to Lake Erie, investigating algal toxin formation and human health impacts, studying bloom dynamics, and better informing water treatment plants how to remove toxins.

Nitrogen Trackers
 
In Lake Erie, excess nitrogen can affect harmful algal blooms, from increasing the overall size of the bloom to making it produce more of the algal toxins that can affect human and wildlife health. Ohio Sea Grant researchers at Wright State University have been looking into these impacts for several years, and their results suggest that controlling them is about more than phosphorus runoff.
