Great Lakes Algae Issues

["Culp, Jason" <jculp@stcatharines.ca>]

Title: Message

Good morning everyone,

 

I was wondering how other beaches in the Great Lakes area are fairing for algae conditions in the past few weeks.  In St. Catharines, it is becoming quite a concern with a couple of the beaches in particular.

 

Also, what are others doing with regards to algae control measures?  Here we currently rake any material we can from the shallow waters and shoreline, but this of course isn't effective for the finer, decaying material that forms the green/black mess that creates the majority of the resident complaints.

 

Thanks.
