Late Summer is peak in cyanobacteria bloom season in Maine. As lake waters warm, reports increase across the state, and blooms can develop quickly. Anoxic bottom waters and occasional rainfall carrying nutrient-rich water into the lake gives cyanobacteria all they need to grow exponentially.
🔎 Please keep an eye out for suspicious green water, surface scum, or paint-like streaks. If you think you've spotted a bloom, report it using the form below. You can also check the dashboard to see reports submitted from around the state.
Every report matters; it helps improve our understanding of bloom activity and keep Maine's lakes safe!
