Скачать или смотреть Lysterfield Lake, Melbourne (during an algal bloom)

Lysterfield Lake is a recreational park in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. I shot this video on two different days in November. On both days the lake was closed for swimming due to a blue-green algal bloom, most likely triggered by high spring rainfall (and associated nutrients in the runoff) followed by some unseasonally hot days. On the first day, there was no sign of the algae and a small number of kids and adults were in the water. On the second day, the wind was blowing onto the beaches and the algae formed a slick several metres across near the water's edge. I hope Parks Victoria works a bit harder to control nutrients at the source, because Lysterfield Lake is the best swimming venue in Melbourne when it's open for swimming.
