Our local town pond is closed because of #HarmfulAlgae blooms.

Algal Blooms in Maine Lakes

"Most freshwater Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are caused by a type of bacteria called cyanobacteria. Under certain conditions, the cyanobacteria can quickly multiply and many species of the bacteria can produce toxins that can cause rashes, nausea, diarrhea, and in severe cases death."
