Blue lichen in inland waters greater than normal

Blue-green algae have been observed more frequently than usual in inland waters this week, though no extremely heavy blooms have been recorded. Sightings have been noted at six locations in Uusimaa, Pirkanmaa, and South Savo. In coastal areas, the situation appears calmer than average for this time of year. The blue-green algae situation is monitored weekly at around 300 observation sites. Conditions can change rapidly within hours, so it is advisable to check for blue-green algae before swimming or using water.

Sinilevää on havaittu sisävesissä kuluvalla viikolla enemmän kuin tyypillisesti tähän aikaan vuodesta. Erittäin runsaita sinileväesiintymiä ei kuitenkaan ole todettu.

Sinilevää on esiintynyt runsaasti yhteensä kuudella havaintopaikalla Uudellamaalla, Pirkanmaalla ja Etelä-Savossa.

Merialueiden havaintopaikoilla tilanne vaikuttaa rauhallisemmalta kuin keskimäärin tähän aikaan vuodesta. Runsaita tai erittäin runsaita sinilevähavaintoja ei ole tehty.

Sinilevätilannetta seurataan viikoittain noin 300 havaintopaikalla.

Sinilevätilanne voi muuttua nopeasti jopa tuntien sisällä. Ennen uimista tai veden käyttöä on hyvä varmistaa, ettei vedessä ole sinilevää.
