In this episode of the AquaDiary Podcast, environmental scientist Ally Berry takes a deep dive into one of the biggest questions surrounding harmful algal blooms: Is there actually a fix? After last week’s reflecting pool video drew hundreds of thousands of views, Berry reviews the major tools used to manage algae, from algaecides and lake mixing to long-term nutrient reduction, explaining what works, what doesn’t, and why some lakes take decades to recover. The episode also breaks down cyanobacteria toxins, how blooms can become dangerous, and what lake managers look for when deciding how to respond.
