Is there an algae issue where you are?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Once touted as an anglers paradise, and a top water-sport playground on the Waikato River, Mangakino is in danger of becoming a ghost town as toxic algal blooms slowly suck the life out of its main attraction - Lake Maraetai.

Locals say cyanobacterial algal blooms in the river’s hydro lakes have become more frequent over the past five years, and when they arrive no-one can swim or fish in them.

Is there an algae issue where you are? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
