What is the best approach to prevent problems with the toxic algae in our lakes?
The only long-term solution to prevent the propagation of the toxic algae is to reduce the amount of nutrients (pollutants) available in the water (i.e. installation of stormwater treatment, propagation of beneficial aquatic plants, reduction in the fertilizers/yard chemical applications, etc.) The City of Maitland has been very proactive in examining environmental problems with state agencies, in educating the residents, and in implementing of the Stormwater/Lakes Management Plan (SLMP) to reduce the pollution levels and slow down the degradation of the lakes, thus reducing the optimum conditions for the propagation of toxic algae.
