Congressional Candidate Chris Manning and Our Land: Return of the Blue-Green Algae
In this episode, Libertarian congressional candidate Chris Manning speaks with producer Matt Grubs. The Libertarian Party selected the military veteran as their candidate in the June 1 special election to replace Deb Haaland.
And, Our Land is back. This is our monthly environmental series with correspondent Laura Paskus. This month, we look back to a 2019 episode about blue-green algae. Blooms of that toxic cyanobacteria are harmful to people and pets. Unfortunately, they’re becoming more of a reality in New Mexico’s lakes and reservoirs, even in northern New Mexico. As the climate continues to warm, it’s more important than ever for water managers and others to work together on the issue.
