Latest summary review Summary of the national blue-green algae monitoring June-August 2023: Varying blue-green algae summer both in lakes and at sea (sttinof.fi) (September 5, 2023) ...

The Finnish Environment Institute has tested the possibilities of using a genetic method to support the Finnish marine phytoplankton monitoring. The eDNA method revealed previously undetected species ......

Traditional analyzes of monitoring data using a light microscope require long experience and good species identification skills. It can be difficult or even impossible to identify species with...

The cyanobacterial situation in the past summer has varied according to changing weather conditions. Cyanobacterial levels in sea areas and lakes peaked during the hottest periods of the summer in mid......

The number of cyanobacterial observations has remained stable throughout Finland. As a result of warm weather, lakes are slightly warmer than average, which helps maintain the growth of cyanobacteria.......

The cyanobacterial situation has deteriorated from previous weeks due to warm weather. Cyanobacterial blooms have now been observed more than average in inland waters, even though lake surface tempera......

The cyanobacterial situation in lakes has deteriorated in some places since last week, although the national situation in lakes remains calm. In sea areas, the number of surface blooms has decreased, ......

The cyanobacterial situation has improved slightly since last week. The number of cyanobacterial observations in lakes has diminished as a result of the windy and rainy weather, and the poor cyanobact......

There are now cyanobacterial occurrences in all sea areas. Abundant cyanobacteria have been observed especially in the coastal areas of the Archipelago Sea and the Gulf of Finland. The situation in la......

There has been a sharp increase in cyanobacterial observations both on the coast and in the open sea. Observations have increased in both the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Bothnia. The cyanobacteria......

The number of cyanobacterial observations in lakes has remained stable or even diminished as a result of the cooler weather, and the situation in inland waters is now slightly better than on average. ......

As a result of the hot weather, water bodies have become warmer, which has led to an increase in cyanobacterial observations in sea areas. Cyanobacterial observations have become more common, especial......

The number of cyanobacterial observations in inland waters has increased slightly since last week. In sea areas, the cool water is keeping the amount of blue green algae relatively low for the time be......

Some cyanobacterial observations have been made in Finnish inland waters and sea areas, but the situation is typically calm for the early summer. At sea, cyanobacteria have been observed in sub-surfac......

In Finnish lakes and sea areas, no significant cyanobacterial observations have been made so far. The cool weather in early summer has not been conducive to the development of cyanobacterial blooms. I......

The cyanobacterial bloom risk is considerable in the Gulf of Finland, the Archipelago Sea and the southern parts of the Bothnian Sea. The risk this summer is at the same level as previous summers....

The Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) has started reporting observations of summer 2022 cyanobacterial blooms this week. No cyanobacterial observations have yet been made in Finnish sea areas or in......

The Finnish Environment Institute has in March-April received reports of algae fouling fishing nets under ice on the coast of the Gulf of Finland. Fouling has been exceptionally intense this spring in......

Soil improving agents may quickly and effectively reduce the water pollution from agricultural land. Gypsum, pulp mill fibre, and structural lime have been studied comprehensively, and based on the re......
