NSW Algal Information

Introduction

Algal blooms can cause waters to be unsafe for recreation in both freshwater and marine water environments. Algal alerts are issued by Regional Algal Coordinating Committees (RACCs) who are responsible for local management of algal blooms.

For information on current alerts call the NSW algae hotline on 1800 999 457 or go to algal alerts.
