Researchers at Bowling Green State University worked with NexSens Technology to deploy a new monitoring buoy in Sandusky Bay. Algal blooms in Lake Erie are a persistent problem, with the main concern being clean drinking water. This buoy is equipped with sensors to measure algae and provide advanced warning to managers at the Sandusky Big Island Water Works Intake.

This summer's humidity has allowed the most primitive algae to colonize anything offering the least bit of sustenance, like a vertical concrete wall beneath a drainspout. Life endures.
(And you wonder why I think extremophiles are normal, on and off Earth.)

There are lots of granite boulders in this area as it was once volcanic. A lot of weathering has occurred but some have spectacular algae growing on them such as this one here. More photos from this lovely Barron River area not far from Tinaroo Dam on the Atherton Tablelands.
