As of Thursday, Oct. 10, the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory will cease issuing the twice weekly bulletins for Lake Erie.
Sampling is being discontinued by GLERL and conditions in Lake Erie are no longer favorable for blooms of Microcystis. The lab will track conditions and resume bulletin production if conditions warrant.
Harmful algal blooms are no longer visible in satellite imagery, and sampling shows that toxic concentrations continue to decrease and can no longer be detected at most stations.
Winds forecast for the next few days will break up existing concentrations.
