The Finnish Environment Institute SYKE has started this week its cyanobacterial bloom reporting for the summer 2019. Cyanobacterial blooms have not been observed in the Finnish sea areas this week. In......

The risk of significant and widespread blue-green algae blooms in Finnish sea areas matches that of previous years, since the nutrient situation has remained largely the same. This summer brings with ......

Backround Technological advances offer several new methods for environmental monitoring. The information produced with different methods is not uniform and requires advanced data and quality co...

Research vessel Aranda’s first monitoring cruise after its renovation was a success despite challenging weather conditions and a tight schedule. The results show that salty and oxygen-depleted water r......

In the Gulf of Finland, cyanobacterial blooms during the summer of 2018 were strongest for the 2010's. Surface blooms covered at worst almost the entire Gulf of Finland. Also in the southern parts of ......

The amount of cyanobacterial surface blooms has further decreased in the Finnish sea areas and lakes. In the Gulf of Finland, weak surface accumulations of cyanobacteria still occur. Harmless filament......

Cyanobacteria are mixed into the water in the southern and south-western sea areas, and wide cyanobacterial blooms have not been observed anymore in the Finnish sea areas. In lakes, cyanobacteria are ......

Cyanobacteria are still quite abundant in the Gulf of Finland, in the Archipelago Sea and in the Bothnian Sea, but cyanobacteria are now mixed into the water and wide surface blooms have not been obse......

Exceptionally abundant blooms of blue-green algae, i.e. cyanobacteria, increase the risk of adverse health effects. Water containing blue-green algae must always be considered a potential health risk.......

Extensive blooming of cyanobacteria has continued in the southern and southwestern Finnish sea areas and lakes. Wide surface blooms are situated in the southern sea areas of Åland and the Archipelago ......

Cyanobacterial blooms have been exceptionally wide in the Gulf of Finland and in the Southern and East-Southern areas of the Archipelago Sea. Amount of cyanobacteria has increased also in the Western ......

In recent days, the Gulf of Finland and parts of the Archipelago Sea have seen exceptionally broad blooming of blue-green algae. According to the weather forecast, the exceptionally warm weather will ......

The number of blue-green algal blooms has increased considerably, especially in south-western and southern sea areas. There are also plenty of blue-green algal blooms in lakes. If predicted heat and c......

In lakes, cyanobacterial blooms occur more abundantly than usually at this time of the year. In coastal areas of the Gulf of Finland and Archipelago Sea, local, abundant blooms of cyanobacteria have b......

In inland waters, blue-green algal blooms are more common than normally at this time of the year. The number of blooms has also increased in sea areas. The strong wind is likely to push the blooms off......

In the sea areas of Finland, blue-green algae have been observed in the coastal areas of Virolahti, Uusikaupunki and Pietarsaari and in Haapasaari. In the lakes, some minor and only a few amble blooms......

Cyanobacterial blooms have since last week increased in lakes in Southern and Central Finland. In Finnish open sea areas no cyanobacterial blooms have been observed, but on the southern coast local bl......

The Finnish Environment Institute SYKE has this week started its annual cyanobacterial bloom situation reporting. In lakes only small amounts of cyanobacteria have been observed at a few locations. In......

The risk of widespread blue-green algae blooms in Finnish sea areas is less than during the last two years, because the algae have less nutrients available in comparison to previous years. However, si......
