The Freshwater Harmful Algal Bloom FHAB Reports Map is maintained by the State Water Resources Control Board (CA Water Boards) from voluntary reporting of suspicious algae, with subsequent verification or eliminaton of the report by authorities. The CA Water Boards coordinate with state and local agencies for follow-up field work sampling and water testing leading to recreational advisories being posted. Signage notifying of HABs in California are as follows:
- Caution Harmful Algae may be present
- Warning Toxins from algae in this water can harm people and kill animals
- Danger Toxins from algae in this water can harm people and kill animals
- Check for Algae toxic algal mats may be present in this water
- Toxic Algae Alert toxic algal mats ARE present in this water
The CA Water Boards guidance for HABs involves the above signage for public awareness. Further, "Practicing Healthy Water Habits" around all water bodies is encouraged, whether these water bodies are posted with signage or not. Always avoid contact with water bearing algae blooms.
For questions, please contact the HAB Hotline by email to CyanoHAB.Reports@waterboards.ca.gov or phone 1-800-222-1222.
