Blue-green Algae
What is Blue Green Algae?
Cyanobacteria, often referred to as blue-green algae, are microscopic organisms found in freshwater environments like lakes, ponds, and rivers. Despite their name, cyanobacteria are not true algae but bacteria that can photosynthesize like plants. Under the right conditions—warm temperatures, stagnant water, and an abundance of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus—they can multiply rapidly, forming what is known as a "bloom."
