Toxic cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (HABs) have increased in New Jersey ponds, lakes, and reservoirs since 2018. Community water monitoring groups are spread out across the state and can help to quantify the extent of these algal growths through visual lake assessments and phycocyanin measurements submitted to NJDEP’s HAB portal.
