Toxic algae appearing in Marlborough streams
Parents and dog owners in Marlborough have been warned to take extra care around the region's streams after toxic algae was spotted.
High concentrations of algae have been seen in parts of the Omaka and Wairau rivers by council staff.
A Marlborough District Council statement said warning signs had been placed at some of the access points, but people needed to be aware the algae could be in other areas that had not been signposted. Not all areas were monitored. Read more here.
