Streaks of blue-green algae are flowing through the Caloosahatchee River Friday.
As the algae increases and moves closer to Fort Myers, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is taking steps to reduce it.
Josue Correa expected sun and dry weather to be conditions for a nice day on the water with his family.
“I’m trying to get the girls involved with jet skis that we just purchased Monday,” Josue Correa said.
What Correa didn’t expect were algae streaks in the water.
