Not all harmful algal blooms are toxic, some only hinder recreation and cause taste and odor issues.
Some algae is slimy to the touch, while other forms feel like a wet towel.
The best method to determine what is in an algal bloom and what might be causing it is through the identification and analysis of samples.

"I’ve recently had the good fortune to connect with a fellow algae researcher, Corrina Parnapy. We are covering some of the same ground in terms of both nuisances and drinking water effects. I’ve enjoyed our exchanges for both their content value and approach. NO ONE wants to hear about bad algae in the drinking water business so it is a double plus to find someone who can add to a constructive conversation without starting a full blown fire drill. I look forward to working with her again." - William Frazier, Lab Services Manager, a southeastern US regional water utility
