Another Cyanobacteria Alert for Winni
NHDES has issued a Cyanobacteria Alert for Salmon Meadow Cove on Lake Winnipesaukee. Cyanobacteria activity was first reported 9/12/22, but the observed aggregation dissipated quickly. It reappeared on 9/18/22 but dissipated again within a couple of hours. A sample from the briefly present bloom had a cyanobacteria cell density (Microcystis) of 139,000 cells/mL. The bloom material has not reappeared or persisted for any duration of time. Please continue to report changing cyanobacteria conditions (along with photos!) to LWA and NHDES. The official alert from NHDES is below.
