In partnership with the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) and the North American Lake Management Society, EPA asked Facebook and Instagram users to submit their photos of algal blooms using the hashtag #AlgalBloomPhoto14 to the Algal Bloom Photo Contest.
EPA chose the top three photos from an impressive collection of more than 100 entries from 27 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and even China. All of the photos were unique and thought-provoking, and will be used to build a photo library that will help educate people on the prevalence and impacts of algal blooms across the country. Photos can be viewed on their Flickr site.
Visit the NEEF website to learn more about the contest and to view all the entries.
