Scientists Sounding Alarm As World’s Largest #Tropical #Lake Turns Green
In #LakeVictoria, #eutrophication and resulting #HAB have been caused by over a century of human activity sending nutrients into lake’s water. #Agricultural #runoff, #sewage, and industrial #wastewater have all been linked to the problem, as well as products of slash and burn practices, biomass burning, and industry being sent up into the atmosphere and dumped down into lake.

"More than 1,000 species of #cichlids have emerged in the past 3 million or 4 million years, and more than 500 in #LakeVictoria alone within the last 100,000 years or less. These are the largest and fastest adaptive radiations known in the animal kingdom, and understanding them will be important for understanding the origin of species diversity in general."

Migingo Island, a tiny landmass in Lake Victoria, straddling the border between Uganda and Kenya. Despite its minuscule size of less than 0.5 acres (about half a soccer field), over 500 people call this densely packed island home.

After the excitement of the Shoebill, it was time to look at other species. On the way back across Lake Victoria to Entebbe, a magnificent African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) perched up ahead of us; the boatmen cut his engine and we drifted back to look at it.
