Army Corps Places Blue-green Algae Warning Signs at Franklin Lock

The Army Corps of Engineers posted signs warning people of potential blue-green algae at Franklin Lock in Olga.

It’s something Calusa Waterkeeper John Cassani has been waiting years for.

While he’s seen warning signs from the county, he said its the first time he’s seen a warning from a state or federal agency.

“Well, it’s a little ironic,” Cassani said. “I mean two of the last three years we have states of emergencies and really didn’t see any state or health department sign out here.”
