Meet the Algae!
Abstract
"Have you thanked algae today for all the things they’ve done for you? Algae support life in our lakes and rivers in their position as the base of aquatic food webs, and they make the oxygen that we breathe. Meet some of the algae that grow in our waterways, from Nostoc “lake plums” to beautifully intricate diatoms and desmids. Catch a glimpse of the tiny underwater worlds which are visible only with a microscope. You will gain a better appreciation for these essential members of our aquatic communities.
