Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, are a group of photosynthetic bacteria that can be found in various aquatic environments. They are named for their blue-green color, which results from the presence of chlorophyll and phycocyanin pigments. Cyanobacteria play a vital role in ecosystems by producing oxygen and serving as a food source for many aquatic organisms. However, under certain conditions, they can proliferate excessively, leading to harmful algal blooms that can produce toxins harmful to humans and wildlife.

Are all rivers blue?

no, the apparent blue color is actually the reflection of the sky in the water, if the water is clean the color of the sky will be reflected, blue or gray on a gray cloudy day, dark on a moonless night, silver reflecting the moonlight at night. Silt, alge, mud or other material in the water can also affect the color. Green Bay and the river flowing into in Wisconsin are in fact green from the green alge at certain times of the year. Its easy to see a color difference where two rivers meet and one is clean and one is slit laden.
