• What's the green sheen on Big Bear Lake? What you need to know about harmful algal blooms (laist.com) — If you're planning time at Big Bear Lake, officials say to keep people and pets out of the water because harmful algal blooms are spreading across the lake and can cause serious illness. Health experts urge residents to avoid swimming, drinking, or cooking with lake water, watch children and dogs closely, and rinse off with clean water if you do come into contact with the greenish scum.
