Potential Algae Blooms Observed in the NF Shenandoah River

On July 20, 2022 while collecting water samples we observed what appeared to be a mix of green algae and aquatic vegetation in the North Fork Shenandoah River at the Strasburg Park and Deer Rapids public boat landings in Shenandoah County, VA.. Your help is needed in reporting the status of algae blooms in the River.

To report sightings (a picture documenting your observation is very helpful), follow this link: https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/…/harmful-algal-bloom…/
