You can’t tell if a bloom is harmful just by looking at it, and not all blooms are easy to see. Nutrient pollution can make algal blooms worse, resulting in more frequent and more severe blooms. HABs are more likely to occur in late spring to early fall when water temperatures are relatively high and less likely to occur in winter months. In order for HABs to grow and form they need: The major factors influencing the growth and reproduction of cyanobacteria are light, temperature, and nutrients. The "About" pop-up provides more guidance on what advisories are as well as additional resources for more information. Simply click on a highlighted waterbody to learn more about advisories/watches at that location or use the search feature to locate specific waterbodies on the map. Statewide monitoring stations, as well as advisories and watches, can now be viewed on our new GIS Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring App. When they contain toxins that affect the health of people, animals, and the environment, they are known as harmful algal blooms (HABs). Some algal blooms are formed by species that can produce toxins. Algal blooms can look and smell bad and may cause the water to appear green, red, brown, or blue in color however, algal blooms can't always be seen. This rapid growth is called an algal bloom and can be associated with foam, scum, or thick layers of algae on the surface of water.
