Blue-green Algae. During the summer, residents are asked to watch
for any blue-green algae and to contact Harlan Maguire, 2901 Crystal Drive,
402-291-8758 with the homeowner’s concern. Harlan will look at the suspect
algae with the resident and determine if taking a sample of the algae and requesting
a test is warranted. Let him know if any significant number of dead fish are
found on the shore. Keep children and pets from any newly discovered blue-green
algae. Do not eat any fish caught from the lake.
There
is a new web site (click
on toxic algae powerpoint presentation) pertaining to lake water quality
in Nebraska. Currently this new site is focused on the issue of toxic algae
in lakes, however in the future it will allow for expanded information about
UNL's extension program as well as posting of new lake management information,
research outcomes, management strategies and other time sensitive topics. The
site contains a power point presentation complete with photos and explanation
of what may be toxic and some of the more common algae and plants that are often
confused with but are not considered toxic.
