As part of our continued attempt to reduce the growth & spread of harmful algae, we'll be conducting this year’s second application of lanthanum modified clay at selected locations on Lady Bird Lake on Monday, July 15. 📷 austintexas.gov/page/harmful…

New studies indicate that blue-green algae blooms are more hazardous to humans than previously thought. Our Dr. West Bishop weighs in on the newest data: abc-7.com/article/blue-green…

We spend a lot of time thinking about what causes HABs, but what about what makes them disappear? Check out this new review on loss processes in cyano blooms from the @GLEONetwork Cyano Workgroup! doi.org/10.1016/j.hal.2024.1…

“If we can change the nutrient dynamics out on the water, hopefully we can reduce the overall toxicity we see out there,” Bellinger said. kxan.com/news/local/austin/t…

First major application of EutroSORB G in the western US. This new phosphorus locking technology will hel allow this reservoir to be used this summer. Toxic algae blooms have prevented discharge recently. With a 10 percent lanthanum we need 90,000 less pounds than old tech

Clean, clear water is correlated with higher property prices for lakeshore homes. According to a study, restoring all lakes in the United States to pristine environmental conditions could boost property values by almost $27 billion. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/WzUp50NA0rH

According to a 2017 EPA report that was released a few weeks ago, nearly half of the lakes in the U.S. have elevated levels of phosphorus. EutroPHIX can help lower that number: ow.ly/h5KU50JOHsi

This lake in the Bay Area has been closed regularly because of HAB blooms. Today using EutroSORB WC to strip water column P and Lanthanum modified clay to seal bottom sediments. Should be a good summer. #eutrofix #HABsolutions

Toxic algal blooms emerged in Lady Bird Lake in August of 2019. The Austin Watershed Protection Department began looking for solutions leading to the implementation of a management program to restore water quality in June 2021. vimeo.com/617232720

Toxic algae blooms have sent over 300 Americans to the emergency room in recent years, new research from the @CDCgov has found. Researchers reviewed ER visits related to algae bloom exposure across the country between 2017 and 2019. gizmodo.com/toxic-algae-has-… – at Ann Arbor, MI

Wow. Maybe a new thing to add to the "harmful" list when talking #HABs.

Kitsap Lake has had annual harmful algal blooms for decades driven by internal phosphorus cycling. Phoslock® was applied in the summer of 2020. Water quality is improving, clarity increased 3X and the bottom water phosphorus levels were reduced by 90%.

Accelerating Water Quality Restoration Morrison Lake is impaired for phosphorus pollution & struggles with harmful algal blooms. The results of the 2020 Phoslock program provided an 80% reduction hypolimnetic phosphorus. Morrison Lake did not experience late-season HABs in 2020
