Recent lab results from a sample collected on Lake Martha indicate the continued presence of trace amounts of algae toxins in the water column.

As a result, Lake Martha will be closely monitored by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) staff. The FDEP will collect follow-up samples for analysis at a future date (possibly 2-4 weeks) determined by the FDEP for Lake Martha and will provide updates on any possible detection of algae toxins as reported on the FDEP Algal Bloom Reporting dashboard (https://floridadep.gov/AlgalBloom).

Please continue to refrain from irrigating or recreating on the lake, including swimming, fishing, and boating until further notice.
