Summer on Lake Erie means algae concerns.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration algal bloom forecast for the lake is moderate to larger-than-moderate for the summer.
Associate Director of Environmental Defence, Ashley Wallis says it comes down to the right nutrients getting to the water.
She adds that farmers need more help to upgrade fertilizer technology and possibly taking some land to use as a buffer between crops and the lake.
