Cyanobacterial reviews

National cyanobacterial reviews are published weekly on Thursdays from June to the end of August.

Cyanobacterial review provides a comprehensive overview of the state of cyanobacterial blooms throughout Finland's inland and coastal waters and the Baltic open sea area. Monitoring is organised jointly by the Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment, municipal environmental officials and the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke).
