The County received multiple reports of a concerning black substance that had washed up along the NE shoreline on Green Lake. After we received the first call, Camden and I went to investigate and collect a sample.
The black substance appeared to be some sort of very small aquatic seed so we sent images to our aquatic plant expert at EOR, Jimmy Marty. Jimmy provided a surprising diagnosis, daphnia eggs!! Daphnia (aka water flea) are a very small freshwater crustacean that eat algae and are a sign of a healthy lake!
Feel free to reach out with any additional questions.

Thanks for sharing this information! Yay, Green Lake!
We also have smooth softshell turtles another sign of a healthy lake. Just wish she was a bit smarter where she lays her eggs but they like the sand.
Fantastic, thanks for following up and posting. I have seen that before and wondered also what it was.
Ted Radmann thank you for reporting this!
Thank you for sharing!
