Gleotrichia Floating green stuff
Fuzzy, green floating dots on lakes and in the top few feet of water, or tiny tapioca-like balls might be an alga (microscopic plant) called Gleotrichia echinulata . Gleotrichia (glee-oh-trick-ee-ah) usually appear mid-summer for brief periods, but can persist longer in some lakes. The presence of Gleotrichia does not necessarily indicate poor water quality since it is commonly present in Maine lakes that have good water clarity. Wind and currents can concentrate them in one part of the lake and high densities can collect in coves.
