An eco-team is hosting a summit to address the harmful algae blooms which seem to plague parts of Lake Erie annually.

Students have invited a number of speakers to the May 20 event - including Essex MP Jeff Watson, Pelee Island mayor Rick Masse and a scientist from the international joint commission.
