Source: Council for Agricultural Science and Technology Today at noon CT, CAST releases its new paper on cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms in a free live webinar. Four of its authors will present the findings and take your questions. These blooms are no longer just a lake problem. Their toxins can reach livestock drinking water, irrigated crops and fish ponds, and in 2014 one bloom in Lake Erie cut off safe tap water for 400,000 people in Toledo, Ohio, for three days. Blooms are becoming more frequent and intense in many regions.
