Blue Green Algae (cyanobacteria) can be found in lakes or streams. It becomes abundant in shallow, warm, undisturbed water that receives an adequate amount of sunlight. It will form blooms, giving the water a solid shimmering blue-green sheen. Blooms can develop very quickly. The water will appear to have floating rafts or scums on the surface.

Because natural toxins or poisons are produced by some Blue Green Algae, you should take caution and not let pets or humans play in or drink the water when the algae is present.
