BGSU research finds reduced levels of harmful algae toxins in Sandusky Bay
SANDUSKY — After years of detecting harmful algae in Lake Erie’s Sandusky Bay, Bowling Green State University researchers recently discovered that a toxic cyanobacterium called Planktothrix has essentially disappeared. While other algae still are present, BGSU scientists have determined a likely cause behind the drop in toxins, signaling a major improvement for a body of water that millions rely upon for life, work and play. “The water looked pretty bad in 2019, but we didn’t know that it was actually slowly improving,” said George Bullerjahn, BGSU emeritus professor of biology. “In 2020, we started to go out to the bay every week but there was nothing. Since then, we’ve found benign algae, but no toxins.” With no major adjustments to nutrient loads and not enough time passing for significant changes, BGSU researchers turned their attention to the Sandusky River, which feeds into the bay and experienced a dam removal near the city of Fremont in 2018 to improve fish habitats.

Toledo council to consider police request for 2nd armored vehicle
Toledo City Council will consider Wednesday a police department request to accept an armored vehicle from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency. The Mine Resistant Ambush Protected armored personnel carrier would be used to ensure the safe transport of personnel, injured people, and supplies in high-risk situations, Police Chief Michael Troendle said. “The primary use for the MRAP would be to transport our tactical medics, medical gear, and extract injured persons out of hot zones. It would be used at scenes of active shooters, barricaded suspects, and hostage rescue,” the chief said during an agenda review meeting last week. Toledo police now have one armored vehicle that is assigned to its Special Weapons and Tactics team, and the chief said it’s that team’s means of entry into barricade or shooting incidents.
