Summary

Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council coordinated volunteer algae monitoring along northwest Michigan’s shoreline during summer 2007. The Beacon reported that the results were reassuring: the algae was more of a nuisance than a danger, while continued monitoring measured and evaluated unsightly or foul-smelling blooms.
