This image captures a lone duck navigating through a waterway affected by a significant algal bloom, commonly known as blue-green algae. The water's surface is mottled with the greenish hues of the algae, which can thrive in certain environmental conditions, often related to excess nutrients and warmer temperatures. While the duck goes about its daily activities, the presence of the algae raises concerns about the health of the aquatic ecosystem and potential hazards to both wildlife and humans.
