| CLWA received 6 reports this afternoon from the northeast side of the lake from volunteers and the public reporting cyanoHABs. The reports ranged from observations of green-tinted water to cyanobacteria forming surface streaks. Deep Run public beach was closed today due to a bloom.
Today’s reports have been from the lake’s northeast side. This was not a lake-wide bloom situation, but we encourage you to check the waterfront before swimming or letting pets in the water. With all the rains and early heat we have been experiencing, we know that conditions can change daily, if not hourly.
Our friends at Cayuga Lake reported a similar situation, with blooms occurring on the northeast side of the lake. Cayuga and Owasco Lakes also unfortunately experienced beach closures today as well.
We will share an update on lake conditions with our regular Friday emails.
We have many trained visual reporters monitoring the lake, but there is also a publicly available link to submit bloom reports to the NYS DEC: on.ny.gov/habform.
As always, feel free to reach out with any questions or to report suspicious blooms. You can email us at HABS@canandaigualakeassoc.org. |
