It’s not easy being green…

With the usual spring cold-to-warm “turnover”, excess nutrients collecting at the pond bottom feed back into the upper waters. Early spring clarity has given way to a greenish cast with fliamentous algae — not necessarily a harmful bloom (HAB) — visiblly forming around fallen treee branches and in stagnant areas. Be cautious!

We currently have less than a meter of clarity, but as the season continues and the layers of the pond separate, we can look forward to improved visibility. We hope this summer’s harvest/cleanup will once again restore the pond’s pristine clarity and improve the quality of water contributing to our creeks and bays.

You can help! Please join us at our fund-raising event, this June 7th at the Ram’s Head Inn (see home page) that will allow us to get long-term remediation underway!
