LEE COUNTY â The Florida Health Department now has several health advisories for both blue green algae and red tide across Southwest Florida.
At the same time, the Army Corps of Engineers tells us it canât stop the releases from Lake Okeechobee that are causing it.
We got footage of tht algae on Friday at the Franklin Lock near Alva. James Evans at the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation said, itâs coming from the Lake Okeechobee water releases.

New images of the Caloosahatchee River show blue-green algae surrounding the boat basin near the State Road 31 bridge.
Streaks of green goo are also on the surface of the Franklin Lock, so much so that the Florida Department of Health in Lee County issued a health alert for algae toxins found by the ramp.
Water advocates say the blue-green algae is a sign of what’s coming next.
Experts say there is about 500 square miles of cyanobacteria in Lake Okeechobee and with the wet season starting soon, the lake level won’t get any lower.

The Franklin Lock in Olga and the Alva boat ramp are both under an algae health alert.
Brittany Pledger, of Fort Myers, went on a boat ride.
“My son invited me,” Pledger said.
Pledger said she didn’t see any algae or smell it while on the water.
That’s a big difference from 2018.
“The smell was unacceptable,” Pledger said. “It was awful.”
Now, she keeps an eye out and hopes she never has to deal with that again.
