Maine Lakes Experience Early Problems
Several Maine lakes, from York to Aroostook Counties, are turning green this year according to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
Reports have come in to DEP about problems ranging from gooey thread-like masses of growth near the shore that typically last a few days, to lake-wide pea-green conditions that last weeks or months.
Biologist Roy Bouchard says the early thaw and warm water temperatures accelerate lake biology that results in the build up in nutrients and sediment and bloom with the right weather conditions.
