harmful algal blooms

Solar-powered ultrasonic devices deployed in early September appear to be controlling in one New Jersey lake what's become a growing problem in bodies of water across the Garden State.

The DEP earlier this year announced the launch of a mapping tool that the public can use to submit information about suspected HABs.

Responsible for a halt to all activities in several bodies of water across New Jersey last summer, harmful algal blooms are prompting additional advisories as the state enters the hottest months of the year.
