Lake Winnipeg is the heart of Manitoba geographically, and it's the heart of two of the province's largest industries: fishing and tourism.

In recent years, beachgoers, fishers, and scientists have begun to sound the alarm about the health of the lake.

Beaches find their favourite beaches closed. Fishers' catches are smaller or appear unhealthy. Scientists happen upon massive algae blooms.

What's wrong with our lake?

And what can we do to help?

Join CBC as we explore these questions in our indepth series Sea of Troubles.
