(Elgin, ND) — Advisories and warnings are being issued for bodies of water statewide due to harmful algal blooms. The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality says HAB warnings for Green Lake, Silver Lake, and Lake LaMoure were issued on Monday. An advisory against going into Lake Tschida is also in effect. Officials say excess blue-green algae cause the harmful algal blooms and can lead to serious health issues. NDDEQ advises people to avoid areas under a warning or advisory and other bodies of water that seem discolored or have foam.
