⚠️🌊 Beware of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)! These toxic algae can turn water into a hazardous zone for humans and animals.

If you see discolored, scummy, or smelly water, steer clear! Always check swimming and fishing advisories for your safety.

If you come in contact with a bloom, rinse off immediately. Stay safe this summer and fall!
