The seems to be a disconnect here. Am I looking in the wrong place? Are we talking about different kinds of cyanobacteria?

Hi Bear Islander,
The NHDES website only shows cyanobacteria advisories. Advisories are issued when cell counts exceed 70,000 cells/mL. The Lake Winnipesaukee Association is working to track all of the cyanobacteria observations that folks have reported to us (and NHDES) with our interactive tracking map. There is going to be an article in the Laconia Daily Sun this Saturday specifically focusing on Gloeotrichia.
