Notes

-Chlorine level as per test strip was 0.5
-No swans or geese present this day, had moved to an area farther down the shore by about 15 minute walk (water much clearer)
-Higher level of algae blooms present; thicker and more clustered rather than thinner algae as seen previous week and ranged farther out from shore
-Dead fish noticed on bottom of lake - possibly due to eutrophication cycle with high levels of algae?
