*Harmful algal blooms in Michigan?s recreational waters [ [link removed] ]

Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are a natural part of lakes, rivers, and ponds. Unfortunately, some cyanobacteria can produce toxins and in high concentrations can cause health effects in animals as well as people. When conditions are right, the cyanobacteria can multiply rapidly forming a Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB). The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) routinely discover or receive reports of HABs in Michigan and work with local health departments to protect the public when toxins are discovered. Please join EGLE and DHHS for this informational webinar on what harmful algal blooms are, how they impact surface waters, and what can be done about them.?The webinar will include a presentation followed by a question-and-answer session and is open to anyone interested in HABs.

*About the Environmental Emergency Preparedness and Response Webinar Series*

Large-scale environmental incidents and emergency events such as fires, floods, dam failures, and oil spills can and do occur in Michigan and have the potential to cause devastating impacts to human health and the environment. However, the damage caused by these disasters can be mitigated with proper preparedness and response. EGLE is presenting this webinar series to help business, industry, government, and the spill response community understand the complexities of preparing for and responding to large-scale environmental incidents and provide an understanding of the various associated roles, responsibilities, regulations, and response technologies. Recordings of each?webinar will be available on the Series webpage [ [link removed] ].
