We have these massive blooms up in the northern part of Champlain. Primarily, caused by Farmers. It's been polluting the lake and injuring people and animals for many years, decades. Once that was known, not much was done. More than 50% of the phosphorous pollution, much more this year, is caused by farming runoff. Weeds, bacteria, ecoli. Most of our bay pollution here where I am is caused by waterfoul.
