What Are Harmful Algal Blooms? Online Fact Sheet
Harmful algal blooms were all over the news after the Toledo drinking water crisis of 2014, but what actually causes these algal blooms and why are they problematic?
This online fact sheet provides answers about what makes up a harmful algal bloom, why they form, why they're an issue, and what people can do to help prevent them and keep themselves safe.
I wrote most of the fact sheet text, and worked with our videographer and an animator from The Ohio State University’s main communications office to put this online fact sheet together for a Great Lakes HABs Collaboratory Grant.
