Blue-green algae in Strathclyde Loch - please do not allow your dogs to enter the water

Dog owners, please note:

Please do not allow your dogs to enter the water at Strathclyde Park.

There are warning signs in place around the loch.

This is due to the natural occurrence of blue-green algae in the loch. Blue-green algae occurs when temperatures are consistently warmer than usual or when there is little wind and rain, as has been the case in recent weeks.

There is no way to prevent it but we monitor water quality and put warning signs up when algae is above normal levels.
