For three weeks starting the second week of September, there was a significant microcystis blue-green algae bloom in the lower half of Three Mile Bay. There was no surface scum so it was not reported to the MOE. The MOE however, later advised that it should have been reported, even though there was no surface scum, toxins could still be present.
