Excellent article, Erin. I hope it's shared widely across major social media, not just this platform. 🙏

Hi Erin and Suzanne

The pond on our property is a constant battle. It’s just your normal thread algae but it’s unattractive and I’m constantly raking out clumps of it. And yes, we live downhill from a farm field.

Thank You for this information! I have grandkids and rescue dogs.

Great article, thank you! We have a pond on our property but have managed to keep down the algae blooms by carefully monitoring the health of the water and the turtles who live there. Making sure water runs through the pond to a stream rather than allowing stagnation really helps.

Checkout giant 'bubble wands'. You'll need power to operate but it'll take care of the algae!

Nothing like having Iranian flag, red, white, and green for our 250!

They obviously filled the reflecting pool with nutrient-rich water. Not long enough for a few ducks to contaminate it. You'd think they would have tested for that that, but, then again, why would you think anyone associated with this administration would?

I live in a city along Long Island Sound. Just yesterday, I walked to the harbor and thought the water was especially green and murky. Usually I can see fish swimming below the surface, but not now.

We are experiencing some algae bloom in the lakes here in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas and our property owner's association seems to have some confusion and unclear understanding about this. There are over 15,000 families with children and grandchildren here who want to swim, kayak and canoe in the 11 lakes here, as they have for many years. The population really booms during the summer months here...Thanks for providing this important information.Thanks for providing this important information.

Thank you. I’m going camping with family last week of July, in Mass. I will be using the tracker.

This is exactly why environmental policy cannot be reduced to appearances. Green water is a warning sign, not a cosmetic inconvenience. Nutrient pollution, heat, weak infrastructure, and budget cuts are converging…
