I couldn't seem to find any other forum that was devoted to water.

I saw that in Florida they are dealing with a huge toxic algae problem.

I don't live on that side of the country but I was so curious about what the best ways to clean it up would be. And I'd like to
know how you prevent it. I believe we have algae blooms here on the west coast on occasion.

Maybe we need a forum on bioremediation and/or water

Thanks for any insight.

Here in France there has been an issue with toxic algea on beaches mainly ..... Ok totally caused by fertilizer run off into the sea . The best solution seems to be to compost the algea and use it as fertilizer
Sea weed has been used as a fertilizer in Ireland for thousands of years

This site seems to have some reasonably good resources on the issue:  https://www.epa.gov/nutrient-policy-data/cyanobacteriacyanotoxins
 
It used to be a lot bigger, but now it is a rather tiny ad:
