Every year, lakeside areas become bustling economic hubs, home to cottages, waterfront ice cream shops, cafes and restaurants that benefit from the scenic views they offer. However, these idyllic settings can become spoiled when smelly green algae wash up on the shore. Whether in the summer or fall, algal blooms interfere with our ability to fully enjoy time near or on the water. Some blooms can even become toxic, which are harmful to people and even pets.<\/p>\n<p>While algal blooms are an annual occurrence in places like the western basin of Lake Erie and parts of Lake Ontario, research suggests that they will appear more frequently in both small and large lakes across the province. Muskoka and the Kawarthas, known for their thriving cottage cultures, are at particular risk. This is concerning because algal blooms can negatively impact the environment, human health and the economy. It can also require expensive water treatment. Blooms limit the use and enjoyment of lakes and rivers for swimming, boating and fishing. These blooms can, in turn, result in fewer visitors and loss of economic benefits for local industries.<\/p>\n<p>When climate change results in warmer winters, the soil thaws earlier, releasing phosphorus (or nitrogen) that would otherwise remain bound until spring and summer. But the plants are still dormant during the winter so the phosphorus released runs off into streams and lakes, where it sits until temperatures rise, providing ready fuel for the algal blooms. This differs from the past when phosphorus wasn\u2019t released until spring and summer, allowing plants to absorb it for growth and preventing it from running off into rivers. This means that not only will we see algal blooms occur earlier in the season and more frequently, but also in lakes across the Great Lakes basin, including previously unaffected water bodies such as reservoirs and small pristine lakes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wateronline.com\/doc\/warmer-winters-are-fuelling-a-growth-in-algal-blooms-across-the-great-lakes-0001\">Water Online<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-643\/\">Warmer Winters Are Fuelling A Growth In Algal Blooms Across The Great Lakes<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[9679,575,7103,904,2478],"class_list":["post-136086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-algae","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-great-lakes","tag-warming","tag-winter"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136086\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
