When it comes to water quality challenges in Lake Erie, farmers in northwest Ohio are doing their part and more by conserving their soil on the farm and, in the process, protecting the water for everyone downstream. Learn about the best management efforts being done for water quality and hear from a Lake Erie Charter Captain about what he is seeing on the lake, firsthand, when it comes to algal blooms and the fishing industry.

Having fished the lake in the 50s , 60s , 70s , 80s , right up until 17 or 18 unless you saw what it was in the 50s and 60s you have no idea how much the quality has improved. That being said I remember being 6 to 8 years old with tears in my eyes looking at the lake. Never ever let another generation suffer the pain bewilderment of why.

I can't even imagine how much toxic stuff is at the bottom of that lake from 100 years of dumping and run off. It's such a shame that we destroyed these beautiful places

I drive all around Ohio seeing ponds filled with algae so people are still over using weed killers out in the suburbs and especially rural areas!
