What is that green stuff floating on my lake?

What is causing algae on my lake?

There are various reasons for the growth of algae on South Florida Lakes. Over fertilizing your lawn may make for greener grass but have you noticed how your property slopes downward toward the lake? The excess fertilizer washes down into the water fueling algae growth, particularly during heavy rains or if you are watering a lot. Another source of algae is the lawn itself. Those thick, green blades of grass are like storage containers of nutrients. Grass clippings that end up in the lake rapidly break down and release the nutrients stored inside, triggering an explosion of growth. Many homeowners enjoy feeding the ducks that have taken up residence on their lakes. The enriched bread and food meant for people goes rapidly through their digestive system and creates an abundance of “natural fertilizer” that ends up in the lake the same way as the turf fertilizer. This particular source also carries with it bacteria from the bird’s system, which can negatively affect the water quality. Unlike other aspects of property care, lake management deals with a constantly changing and flowing environment that is affected by everyone in the community. Many homeowners would be surprised how seemingly unrelated actions can contribute to lake problems and instability.Fees may be hourly, flat-rate, or contingency-based, depending on the type and complexity of your case.

What are those floating weeds in my lake?

Aquatic weeds are a fact of life for us here in South Florida. Many of the plant species that plague our waterways are not originally from this country. Most are brought here for the aquarium or water garden markets and are inadvertently released into our lakes and canals by residents. Long warm summers, high nutrient levels and an abundance of sunshine make our waterways an ideal breeding ground. The problem is compounded because these foreign invaders left their natural enemies behind in their native regions. Florida lacks the environmental conditions, diseases, insects, fish, and birds that kept these plants in check back in their home countries. Community lakes are not closed systems and are shared by many residents. Problem plants can find their way into lakes from dumped fish tanks, being flushed in with storm water, or even from boats and fishing gear used in other lakes. Wading birds and migratory animals can carry weeds from site to site depositing them in lakes as they go. Even minor legal matters can benefit from professional advice to avoid costly mistakes or future complications.
