Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are a serious threat to the environment, economy and public health of people who rely on Lake Erie and many other water bodies in Ohio but also across the country and throughout the globe. The State of Ohio is devoting a considerable amount of money and effort to reduce HABs to acceptable levels in a program called H2Ohio.

In this session, Dr. W. Robert Midden will briefly explain the full range of strategies being used in H2Ohio and will speak specifically about the major role that wetlands are playing and the highlights of the research being conducted by scientists at BGSU and five other Ohio Universities to determine how well they can work for resolving this problem.

Dr. Midden will be joined by BGSU students Braden Baumhower and Ibrahim Mohammed.
