The world's large lakes are among the most undervalued resources, often overlooked compared to the seas of continental margins. These vast inland bodies of freshwater have significantly contributed to human development but have also become dumping grounds for waste products. In recent decades, the visible decline of these lakes has sparked growing interest and concern among scientists and the public. The First International Phycological Congress in 1982 in St. John's, Newfoundland, provided an opportunity to focus on the phycology of large lakes, with contributions from experts in Canada, the U.S., and the U.S.S.R. addressing lakes across Africa, North America, Europe, and Asia. This collection of research marks a pivotal step toward a unified understanding of these ecosystems, emphasizing the foundational role of phytoplankton in the food web, the significance of community structure, and the vulnerability of these organisms to human-induced stress. The work reflects the evolving sophistication of freshwater science, enhancing our ability to manage lakes as ecological systems and comprehend the dynamics of food web interactions and the effects of societal changes on these vital resources.
