cyano bacteria advisory as of date of map. The map noted 10.09.25 
illustrates those locations. The area at the head of the lagoon has 
continued to show varying degrees of cyano bacteria presence.  The original 
algal mat noted in mid-August disappeared. As of now the alerts indicated 
are in affect. The remaining areas of the Lagoon have not been re-tested 
since August 26, but we have no reason to believe there are any issues 
elsewhere in the pond. At this time, we have a yellow alert for the area 
just north and south of the Herring Run.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.lagoonpondassoc.org/homepageblog/notice-cyanobacteria-bloom-in-upper-lagoon-pond">Permalink</a><p>]]></content:encoded><media:content type="image/jpeg" url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5de66296631c6c6aca044703/1760204713235-9RKXTGJUAAA43VXIGUD8/LPA+Cyano+map+oct+25.jfif?format=1500w" medium="image" isDefault="true" width="1500" height="1941"><media:title type="plain">Advisory Update: October 09: Cyanobacteria Bloom in Upper Lagoon Pond</media:title></media:content></item><item><title>Join LPA for a Biodiversity Survey</title><dc:creator>Becky Rivera</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2025 15:28:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.lagoonpondassoc.org/homepageblog/join-lpa-for-a-biodiversity-survey-K3dNX</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5de66296631c6c6aca044703:5dfbc94d5156b361f40088c3:6851cb76e763da5ce885a0da</guid><description><![CDATA[Meet at Doug’s Cove on Friday, July 25 at 2:00-5:00pm.
