The harmful algae bloom (HAB) caused by blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) has cleared.
Recent water testing laboratory
results show algae levels are low and no toxins were detected at
multiple locations, meeting safety guidelines.
HAB conditions can change quickly. Water with HABs may exhibit bright to dark green scum along the shoreline with thick, floating algal mats on the surface. The water may resemble green paint, pea soup, or green cottage cheese.
If you
see water in this condition, keep people and pets away
from it. Toxins may persist in the water after a blue-green algae bloom is
no longer visible.
To report
suspected blue-green algae blooms, contact DEM’s Office of Water Resources
at DEM.OWRCyano@dem.ri.gov or call 401-222-4700, Press 3,
and select Office of Water Resources. If possible, send a photograph of the
reported algae bloom. For more information and the Cyanobacteria Tracker
Dashboard that lists current advisories and data, visit: www.dem.ri.gov/bluegreen
