Free Webinar on Protecting Animals from Harmful Algae Blooms

 

Penn State Extension is offering a free webinar to the public about protecting dogs and other animals from harmful algae blooms on Thursday, July 23, from 7:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

Harmful algae blooms (HABs) are the overgrowths of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that cause water quality problems in lakes and ponds, including the occasional production of potent toxins.

These toxins can poison people, household pets, waterfowl, and livestock. Because HABs are increasing in many areas, the number of dog poisonings from cyanobacterial toxins is also on the rise.

This webinar will help you visually identify harmful algae blooms so they can be avoided.
If you own a pond or lake, the webinar also will describe actions you can take to prevent or treat harmful algae blooms. You’ll also learn steps to take to protect animals before and after they are exposed to pond and lake water. 

Additional information, including registration for the webinar, is available at the Penn State Extension website.
