A story in the March 5 edition of the Ithaca Times featured researchers from the Finger Lakes Institute on the HWS campus. The story described a group of scientists who met to discuss the levels of phosphorus in Cayuga Lake. The story summarized the results of the meeting by saying that Cayuga Lake is in pretty good shape.
