NO I do not believe so...
During the 2000s blooms of toxic Microcystis were reported as common in the western basin. In August 2003, a massive bloom of the cyanobacteria Microsystis aetuginosa formed in western Lake Erie and persisted for nearly a month. Surface scums of Microcystis containing high concentrations of the toxin microcystin washed ashore in Michigan and Ohio, resulting in foul-smelling, rotting, algal mats. Beaches and recreational boating areas were rendered unusable and sport fishing was adversely affected. The Microcystis bloom of 2003, perhaps the most severe in Lake Erie’s recent history, was only the latest in a trend towards increasing frequency of Microcystis blooms in the last decade. The 2003 bloom was followed by smaller blooms in 2004 and 2005. Microcystis reappeared in 2006, but the extent of the bloom remains to be determined.
