Toledo Rotary Club is leading the way to solutions of the algae issues in our water.
 
Toledo Rotary Club has provided an opportunity for anyone to learn about algae issues at the recent convocation Friday October 28th.  The Associated Press would have you believe that our algae issues are all from the runoff from farms.  The truth is that we do not know all of the sources for this pollution and that there is no one agency working on these issues.  The public is under informed as to the gravity of algae forming and its consequences to life as we know it.  There are two forms of algae both cause illness and death. Historical experience was provided by a representative from the Chesapeake Bay Authority who have been working on contamination issues for the last 17 years.  They have 17,500 people involved in these issues which are the same as ours and over 750 organizations in 7 states working cooperatively.  Their advice was to get involved and informed.  Learn about the unintended consequences of progressive farming, too much phosphorus and what you can contribute to solutions in your own backyard. Toledo Rotary hosted representatives from Canada and 10 states.
