When in doubt, best keep out!

A harmful algal bloom is a dense population of algae fueled by excess nutrient runoff. These blooms can look like foam, scum, clumpy mats, or paint on the surface of the water. They can also grow beneath the surface, making some harmful algal blooms hard to see.

Going in or near water with a harmful algal bloom can make you and your animals sick. While most blooms are harmless, you cannot determine if one is harmful just by looking at it. Always treat algal blooms as dangerous, and follow swimming, fishing, and shellfish advisories.

Steer clear of discolored, scummy, or smelly water and keep pets away!
