1. Solutions
1.1. the only way to stop is from moving is to stop it from forming in the first place
1.2. reduce the amount of phosphorus coming into the lake
1.2.1. reduce phosphorus by 40%

2.1.1. "Harmful Algal Blooms and Eutrophication": 1. nutrient sources of the blooms are used as evidence to suggest changes in frequency, extent and magnitude of the algal blooms 2. Some affects = fish kills, loss of submerged vegetation, widespread marine mammal mortalities
2.2. 2. Schindler, D.W., 2008
2.2.1. "Eutrophication of Lakes Cannot be Controlled by Reducing Nitrogen Input": 1. excess nitrogen in the lake caused the lake to be eutrophic, thus leading to dense plant growth 2. to reduce eutrophication in lake 227 in precambrian lake, phosphorus levels must be reduced

2.3.1. "Record-Setting Algal Bloom in Lake Erie Caused by Agricultural and Meteorological Trends Consistent with Expected Future Conditions": 1. Extended period of weak lake circulation then led to abnormally long residence times that incubated the bloom 2. Warm and quiescent conditions made algae remain near the top of the water and prevented flushing of nutrients from the system.
