Science Experiment Gone Wrong
A new algea recently appeared in the large lake between the 6th and 7th fairways. When we sent this picture of it to an aquatic specialist for identification, we received this response:" Looks like a Scum forming cyano bloom (likely anabaena). When it gets so thick on the surface the sun cooks it. The phycocyanin cooked pigment has that blue color. I would assume it smells bad."
We removed virtually all of it last Friday with rakes. Today we are adding a chemical to the lake to kill whatever remains
