Environmental Issues
Report algal blooms in natural waterbodies (streams, rivers, bayous & bays) to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), which collects samples to determine algae species, toxicity, and to track bloom progress. Contact the FDEP at 855-305-3903 or visit their Algal Bloom website: https://floridadep.gov/dear/algal-bloom/content/algal-bloom-sampling-results
