Sustainable Finger Lakes

If you see foam on the lakes, it may be from the cyanobacteria that cause Harmful Algae Blooms as new study shows. This foam may be more toxic than the surrounding water. As always, the solution lies in reducing manure runoff into our waterways:

WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP PREVENT THIS?

Limit nutrient inputs into the lake. This can help control both cyanobacteria and mussels, which proliferate from abundant phosphorus and nitrogen. The best ways to reduce nutrients are to:

Use less fertilizer
Control animal waste and wastewater discharge
Reduce erosion
Preserve and plant shrubs, trees, and groundcover along tributary streams.

Lake Foam | Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association

In 2003, Researchers from SUNY ESF, Finger Lakes Community College and the Canandaigua Lake Wateshed Council performed chemical testing on the foam. Report can be found here: 2003 Foam Report
