Featured, Home Page News, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Ohio /

Steven Haller remembers the look of fear on people’s faces when toxic algae in Lake Erie made it into his community’s water supply 10 years ago, shutting it down for two days.
Since then, Haller, a clinical researcher in the University of Toledo’s department of medicine, has set out to help provide answers about how harmful algal blooms can affect the health of people who live and play nearby.
“I see all of the concern in the faces of people here,” Haller said. “They want the answers. They want to know.”

Now, 40 years later, Boehme wants to launch another treasure hunt. As executive director of the Great Lakes Observing System, she’s leading a campaign to map every meter of the lakes’ bottom.

Central New York village faces decision on exotic mute swans

Featured, Home Page News, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York, News /

White swans have an outsize presence in this upstate New York village measuring less than 2 square miles. Residents say it’s hard to imagine Manlius, near Syracuse in Onondaga County, without the European mute swans that have inhabited a pond in the village center for more than 100 years. Until recently, they didn’t have to.
But the killing of one of the village’s swans in 2023 set off a battle with regulators that is forcing Manlius to make a difficult decision about the birds’ future.
