Have you noticed algae in any local rivers?

Reporter Marlborough Express

Did you know algae can be lethal for dogs?
Toxic algae can form brown, dark green or black mats that grow on rocks in the river bed. Mats can come loose from the riverbed and wash up on the banks or form floating “rafts” in shallow areas.

Did you know algae can be lethal for dogs?
Toxic algae can form brown, dark green or black mats that grow on rocks in the river bed. Mats can come loose from the riverbed and wash up on the banks or form floating “rafts” in shallow areas.
When exposed, the mats may dry out and turn light brown. The mats produce a strong musty odour.
Dogs are attracted to the smell, and may eat any accessible mats that wash up on the river’s edge.
A small amount, the size of a 50 cent piece, can kill a dog.
