What are increasing toxic algae doing to Idaho’s lakes?

From the air, northern Idaho’s lakes appear as pools of blue, shimmery water. But if you look at a microscopic level, you’ll find signs they are in trouble. A microscopic organism threatens the water quality of these lakes. Outdoor Idaho:The Health of Our Lakes follows scientists and lake managers as they investigate increasing levels of cyanobacteria or blue-green algae and search for solutions.
