Global warming changes the composition of phytoplankton in marine ecosystems, also in the Baltic Sea. There has been the recently observed shift in the phytoplankton community composition during the B......

During the first week of August, the occurrence of cyanobacteria in the sea areas has been typical of the time. Observations of cyanobacteria at national monitoring sites have been made especially on ......

In sea areas cyanobacteria occurrences have increased, which is typical for late July and early August. Windy weather has kept cyanobacteria mixed in the water bodies, therefore extensive surface bloo......

The Finnish Environment Institute SYKE monitors the state of the environment with the help of satellite technology and is a European forerunner in the efficient use of satellites. The TARKKA service, ......

Cyanobacteria have been observed in both sea areas and lakes. In the sea areas, cyanobacteria are mostly mixed in the water due to strong winds. In the coastal areas, cyanobacteria have been observed......

In both sea areas and lakes cyanobacteria has been observed more than during the last week. Although, when comparing this week to the previous summers’ same period of times, the cyanobacteria occurren......

© Ilkka Lastumäki The cyanobacteria situation has stayed moderate both in Finnish lakes and sea areas. Windy and cloudy weather have carried on to restrain the occurrences. The ......

Less cyanobacteria have been observed at national algae monitoring sites as compared to last week. Windy and cloudy weather has restrained the occurrence of cyanobacteria both in the Finnish sea areas......

This week, in both Finnish sea areas and in inland waters, greater amounts of cyanobacteria have been observed as compared to last week. The warm weather period in June has promoted the growth of cyan......

During the Midsummer week, cyanobacteria have started to occur in increasing numbers both in lakes and in the southern and southwestern parts of Finnish sea areas. The exceptionally warm weather in Ju......

The cyanobacterial situation has not notably changed from that of last week; the number of observed cyanobacterial occurrences have merely slightly increased in southern Finland in both Baltic Sea wat......

The Finnish Environment Institute SYKE has started this week its cyanobacterial bloom reporting for the summer 2020. In the Finnish sea areas some cyanobacteria have been observed locally. In lakes, o......

Plankton community ecology and ecosystem research is currently greatly hampered by the bottleneck of acquiring species-level information from the communities due to the slow analysis process with tra...

In average summer weather conditions, the risk of algae is moderate in the northern part of the main basin of the Baltic Sea, a major part of the Archipelago Sea and in the southern part of the Bothni......

Does your lake suffer from eutrophication? Is there a need to diminish diffuse loading? Finnish Environment Institute SYKE offers its know-how and expertise for lake restoration projects and exp......

During the past summer, large amounts of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) were seen particularly in the northern part of the Baltic Sea’s main basin, at the entrance to the Gulf of Finland and south o......

Since last week, the amount of cyanobacterial blooms has decreased both in the Finnish sea areas and lakes....

Cool and unstable weather has restrained cyanobacteria occurrence both in the Finnish Sea areas and in lakes. In the sea areas cyanobacteria can still be found in the deeper water layers, and also som......

Observations reveal a large surface cyanobacteria bloom in the Baltic Proper that extends north close to Finnish coastal areas. Blooms have also been reported in the southern part of the Bothnian Sea.......

The cooler and windier weather this week has slowed down the growth of the cyanobacteria and kept them mixed in water. Cyanobacterial blooms have declined in the Baltic Sea as well as in lakes since l......
