I was in it Saturday around the islands and it looks thick and dark colored and in patchy streaks. A biologist said it will be like this for a month yet. Its gotten worst over the last few years and something needs done. The algea has moved into Lorain area waters this week and extends just west of the islands. Algea is feeding off the stuff I mentioned above. Just not sure how it will affect the fish over time. The cure ? Wish I knew , but probably stiff regulations on chemicals and sewage is a great start. I have nothing against farmers, but something needs changed for the good.
