Those algae "dots" (
Gloeotrichia echinulata) are further apart below the surface, and have definitely dropped in number.
Less than a week ago, they started to accumulate on the surface and I wondered if they had started to become a poisonous mat of blue-green algae.
But perhaps this time of year, the foam is made up of their disintegrating protoplasm.
