Federal scientists released their annual forecast for Lake Erie’s harmful algal blooms on June 26, 2025 .

They expect a mild to moderate season, but anyone who comes in contact with the blooms can face health risks.

The main sources of harmful algae blooms are excess nutrients in the water, typically phosphorus and nitrogen.

The Toledo drinking water crisis of 2014 illustrated the vast potential for algal blooms to cause harm in the Great Lakes .

Warmer waters are extending the duration of the blooms, says Gregory Dick .

Dick : The best and perhaps only hope of reducing the size and occurrence of harmful algal bloom is to reduce the amount of nutrients reaching the lakes.
