Notes

Water was very smelly today throughout the lake- green pea soup smell. Lots of patches of green clumps in the water, foam bubbles on top. Several Pelicans and a couple of seagulls in the area as well as a few mosquitoes.
No wind, water was calm. No other boats in the testing area. Some parts of the lake were clearer than the testing area. Water at the main public beach in Bsaytah was clear and no odour.
