According to the algae prognosis from the Finnish experts, the risk of blue-green algal blooms varies across the nation. The probability of extensive blue-green algal blooms in Finland’s sea areas is slightly higher than it was last year. The increased risk in the Baltic Proper is due to phosphorous-rich deep water mixing with surface layers as a result of storms in late autumn and winter 2013-2014.
