Blue-green algae in a North Fort Myers canal. (Credit: WINK News) Blue-green algae treatment is underway in North Fort Myers.

Here’s how the treatment BlueGreen Water Technologies uses works. The company took a boat out on the water on Monday and spread their hydrogen peroxide-based treatment across the water. That is the white you see in the photo below. The algae dissolves and the solution stays on the surface. Blue-green algae in a North Fort Myers canal.

Right now, the county is monitoring the blooms and doesn’t have plans to treat other areas.
