blooms in the Bay

As the weather heats up, conditions will be ripe for harmful algae blooms (HABs). After a devastating

in 2022, we ramped up our algae monitoring program and now have a team algae sampling across the Bay Area through the summer.

But we could always use more eyes on the Bay If you see coffee-colored water or unusually red or bright green water in the Bay, take photos, note down the time & exact location, and reach out to our pollution tip line: https://baykeeper.org/report-pollution/

Photos: First two photos are of brown-colored water during a small algae bloom in

in 2024 that luckily dissipated quickly. The third photo is a close-up image of the alga Akashiwo sanguinea and the last image is of our team collecting samples from the Bay

"Sometimes, when the world closes in, the best thing to do is to go on a small adventure, perhaps to an island with trees, trails, beaches and wild animals."

Great advice from Carl Nolte @sfchronicle
