A pesky invasive plant found in many areas of Yukon could be put to use helping clean contaminated water from mines, research suggests.

Harmful algae blooms, fuelled by warming temperatures and nutrient runoff, plague the state.

Wastewater fuels blooms of reef-smothering algae. Better engineering and an army of funny-looking fish can come to the rescue.

Over the last 25 years, the Salton Sea has lost a third of its water due to an over-allocated Colorado River. As it shrinks, the sea’s salts plus pollutants from agricultural runoff reach higher concentrations. To protect the air and water quality, shoreline residents have become community scientists.

"Canadian lakes are warming twice as fast as the rest of the lakes globally," said York University biologist Sapna Sharma, a co-author of a paper published in the journal Bioscience.

Extracting the chemical used in fertilizers from waste rather than mining it could also help reduce pollution, according to a new report.

The unprecedented feeding program is a state and federal response to last year's record number of 1,101 documented manatee deaths.

Trees are charcoal black on one side and bone white on the other, evidence of the path a wildfire took as it tore into Waterton Lakes National Park in southwestern Alberta nearly two years ago.
