Beware of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) during Free Fishing Days
Reviewed by Madi Wagner / FLXlocal.org
The Cayuga County Health Department in Cayuga County has advised people to be cautious of harmful algal blooms (HABs) while participating in Free Fishing Days this weekend. HABs can have negative impacts on the health of humans and animals. It is recommended that individuals and pets should avoid water that looks like paint, appears discolored, or has floating mats or scum. Additionally, fish from areas suspected of containing HABs should not be consumed.
