The CSLAP team was scoping the lake yesterday, June 7, 2025. We are all aware of the growth of filamentous algae throughout the lake. In the deeper areas it hugs the weeds under water, shielded by the weed canopy.  But in the shallows it gathers more light and nutrients growing into thicker mats.  The linked  article on the left reviews all we need to know about this algae, its benefits to the ecosystem and its nuisance behavior.
