We received information from June Summers, Chairperson Braddock Bay Advisory Committee, regarding Harmful Algal Bloom. There was the start of HAB just east of the boat launch at the West Point Marina. The weather Tuesday June 17 and June 18th could be particularly good to grow HABs in that area.

Here’s a recent note from Mike Green, VP of GVHA
“At about 7 AM this morning (7/10/25), Tim Smith and I spotted fresh harmful algal blooms (HABs) along the north shore of Long Pond. We filed reports with photos and reached out to a SUNY Brockport professor, who sent three grad students later that day. They collected water samples from across Long Pond for research comparing conditions here with Cranberry Pond and Braddock Bay. One student will focus her thesis on Long and Cranberry Ponds — including the creek that flows through the old dump into Long Pond. She had no idea about the dump and was surprised to hear it. The research team plans to keep us updated as their findings develop.”

The map above shows the July 11, 2025 listings for HAB in Grandview Heights areas as per the NY HABS website. Please be advised.

The NYSDEC has developed an interactive online map that displays the location of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) across the state. HAB reports will be updated through October.  The NYHABS map can be accessed at: on.ny.gov/nyhabs.
