‼️ TOXIC ALGAE – HIGH RISK‼️
🔴 red alert - avoid swimming at Waikanae River Jim Cooke Park site
🟠 amber alert - caution advised at Otaki River SH1 site

Unlike the rest of the country, we’ve received very little rain over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, this means toxic algae levels have continued to increase in the Waikanae River at our Jim Cooke Park site which has now been upgraded to a red alert/high risk status. Swimmers and people with dogs are strongly advised to avoid the Waikanae River along the reaches of the Jim Cooke Park.

A caution remains in place at the Ōtaki River site near the Old Stage Highway 1 bridge.

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.

If you’re feeling unwell after swimming at these sites, please see your doctor or ring Healthline 0800 611 116.

Check the LAWA website - www.lawa.org.nz... for the most up-to-date water quality results at your favourite swim spot.
