    A few people on the trails but less than usually, likely due to the extreme heat.

    Noticeable algae growth on rocks at water level. Too wavy and rough to see bottom of lake floor

    Port Dover Pumphouse by Chris Keast

    Water was murky from the beach; couldn't see bottom from standing on dry land.

    Rocky Edges by Morena McDonald

    We heard in the news about a discolouration in the river. It looks like an oil spill but reports say it’s algae. We haven’t heard anything more about it, but we got some pictures.

    Near Colchester by The Russell Family

    Rain in last 24 hours and windy

    Thames Grove Conservation Area by Morena McDonald

    There’s some algae here! Photos attached. Someone on a environmental Facebook group posted a day or two ago about a black slick going through the Thames. No indication of it at this spot, but wanted to check on the O2 levels here just in case. Seems okay!
