Description

In this 2023 photo, algal blooms forming in the Ross Island lagoon spread into the Holgate Channel and the broader Willamette River. Scientists now have a proven solution -- but it's unclear who will implement it or pay for it and when.

Oregon State University researchers and the nonprofit Human Access Project have released a new design for a years-in-the-making plan they say could once and for all curb the toxic algal blooms in the Ross Island lagoon that drift into the broader Willamette River each summer.
