Toxic algae - Waikanae River

⚠️ Kia ora Kāpiti. Waikanae River at Old State Highway and Jim Cooke Park are still showing signs of heavy toxic algae growth. We continue to ask dog owners to keep their pets safe.

While the official swim spot monitoring season has ended, warm winter weather and low rainfall have combined to increase the risk of toxic algae in the river. Toxic algae can make people sick and can be fatal to dogs. These brown or black velvety mats grow on rocks in the riverbeds and come loose and wash up on riverbanks. Dogs love the musty smell and taste of toxic algae, so please keep them on leads away from the water and never let them scavenge at the river’s edge. If you think your dog has swallowed toxic algae, take them to the nearest vet immediately.
