The number of cyanobacterial observations has started to decline in inland waters and on the coasts of the Baltic Sea. The situation in inland waters is calmer than usual. Usually, August is the month......

Larger amounts of cyanobacteria have been observed in inland waters than in the previous week. The observations are concentrated in eutrophic lakes and bays in the southern parts of Finland. Cyanobact......

The cyanobacterial situation has calmed down both in inland waters and sea areas. Almost all cyanobacterial observations concern small amounts of cyanobacteria. In lakes, storm Riikka stirred up the s......

Along the coast and in the open sea areas varying amounts of cyanobacteria have been observed. On the coast, observations continue to centre around the Archipelago Sea. The hot weather has contribute......

The warm and calm weather has contributed to the growth of cyanobacteria, especially in the sea areas. On the coasts, cyanobacterial observations have been made particularly in the Gulf of Finland and......

In the coastal areas of Finland, the cyanobacterial situation is progressing quietly despite the individual abundant cyanobacterial occurrences in the Archipelago Sea. In lakes, the cyanobacterial sit......

During the Midsummer week, more and more blue-green algae have been observed in both lake and sea areas. The hot weather in June has boosted the growth of blue-green algae, especially in Southern and ......

In lakes, more cyanobacterial observations have been made than during the previous week, but the observed amounts of cyanobacteria have been small. In sea areas, the cyanobacterial situation is still ......

In lakes, cyanobacterial observations are slightly up compared to last week, but abundant cyanobacterial blooms have not been observed. In the Finnish sea areas, some cyanobacterial observations have ......

The risk of significant and widespread cyanobacterial blooms this summer in the eastern Gulf of Finland and the main basin of the Baltic Sea is slightly higher than in summer 2020....

The Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) has started reporting observations of summer 2021 cyanobacteria blooms this week. Some cyanobacteria has been observed at one observation site in the eastern p......

The cyanobacterial situation over the past summer has been variable both in inland waters and sea areas. The number of cyanobacterial observations during June–August followed the weather conditions qu......

Cyanobacterial surface accumulations in open sea areas of the Gulf of Finland and the Bothnian Sea are still visible in satellite images, even though they are less intensive than earlier. In coastal a......

Varying amounts of cyanobacteria have been observed in both sea areas and lakes. The warm and calm weather of last week has enabled cyanobacteria to rise to the surface water layers. Abundant surface ......

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 ......
