Algae at Meyers Beach Sea Caves

From Apostle Islands National Lakeshore:




For now, avoid drinking the water by the caves at Meyers Beach. Look at the microscope photo to see the algae found at the Meyers Beach Sea Caves bowl area yesterday--it IS a potential toxin producer. If the conditions are right, certain species of blue-green algae can bloom in Lake Superior waters. NPS collaborators will be completing a full analysis of the sample and we will publish updates. If enjoying the sea caves area, please share additional observations and photos with ranger staff. (pjc)
