Water quality: lake releases & blue-green algae

The Caloosahatchee is a natural river. In the 1880s it was dredged and linked to Lake Okeechobee; that stretch is the C-43 canal. When the Army Corps releases lake water, it flows down the river past Fort Myers and Cape Coral into San Carlos Bay and toward Fort Myers Beach, and can carry nutrients and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria).

Florida health officials advise staying out of water with visible algae, keeping pets out, and not eating fish from bloom areas. Conditions change daily — check before you swim, fish or boat.

Live bloom status is not connected here — use the official links above.
