at times and in parts it's already dead in the biologists’ definition of death because for a large part of the year, particularly in high summer, pollution steals the oxygen from twentysix hundred square miles of lakebed, so that only the most primeval forms of life can survive there. ![]() YouĬan, of course, swim in it anywhere, but in a disturbingly large number of otherwise desirable beaches you can only do so if you don't mind the smell or the algal slime or the floating sewage, oil, debris or dead dogs, cats, rats and fish.īut as a lake, a geological entity whose life is measured in the quality of its fish and its natural beauty and splendor, Lake Erie is dying. ![]() You can still sail a boat on it bask in the sun by it buy a cottage alongside it: still drink it (though the cost of purifying its water is increasing), or even swim in it if you choose your spot carefully. It’s hard to talk of the death of a Great l ake when it's patently still there, 9,930 square miles of gleaming inland sea with about a thousand miles of shoreline roughly divided between Ontario in Canada and five states in the U. For a while this was The Great Mayfly Mystery, and when that was solved everyone knew that Fake Erie was in its death throes. But the first sign of trouble to which anyone paid much attention was the disappearance of the mayfly first, and temporarily, in 1953 and then, for good, in 1956. IT ALL TOOK PLACE so slowly it's hard now to reconstruct just when and how it happened.
