Levels of microcystis cyanobacteria are continuing to decline in Lake Erie’s western basin, according to the latest harmful algal bloom bulletin issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Satellite imagery from Sunday, Oct. 6, “indicates some chlorophyl is still present within Maumee Bay, but is absent elsewhere in the western basin.”
With the water temperature dropping to below 68 degrees any increased concentration is not possible, according to NOAA.
The persistent cyanobacteria bloom in Sandusky Bay, however, persists.
