OHA issued a recreational use health advisory for Ross Island Lagoon, and for the Willamette River south of the lagoon downriver to Ross Island Bridge.

While collecting samples for laboratory testing, Oregon DEQ staff took photos that OHA staff subsequently confirmed to show a cyanobacteria bloom in the water. Results of testing will either confirm the advisory or allow OHA to lift it.

Children and pets are at increased risk for cyanobacteria exposure and poisoning because of their size and level of activity.

Remember, “When in doubt, stay out!”
