The waters of Lake Victoria, the world’s largest tropical lake, have undergone a visible transformation, with toxic green algal blooms shifting from seasonal events to a near-permanent condition. The lake sustains roughly 47 million people across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, serving as a critical source of drinking water, fisheries, and transport. Scientists caution that prolonged nutrient enrichment has pushed the ecosystem toward a dangerous threshold.
