We usually suffer from blue-green algae in the heat of summer, but it's autumn now and quite cool. Must be a lot of nutrients in the lagoon.

Gold Algae Eater
Gyrinocheilos aymonieri
This slender algae eater has a silver underbelly with a bright yellow/gold back. A horizontal line that is patterned runs along the side. The Gold Algae Eater comes from Northern India. It is usually kept in tanks for the purpose of keeping algae under control.
The main source of food is algae on plants, rocks, glass, and driftwood. Algae based wafers should be provided if there is a lack of algae.

Algae from pond water. Photo taken with Zeiss PMII scope 16x plan objective and Canon EOS 60D camera equipped with Zeiss 47 60 10 intermediate tube and Leitz 4x projection lens. Modified brighfield. May be Closterium. Sharpened image of Algae 18A
The clarity on this is better and the color more apparent on this snail. You can see the cross fibers of the algae growing on the window of the tank (and here I thought i just cleaned it...if you can see this imagine what you kitchen table would look like under a microscope...)
This guy is about .5 centimeters in real life
this single swan was in a small rivulet completely covered in green algae, as you can see from its beak
There was a very small freshwater creek entering the ocean at this point.
The entire course of the creek's journey over the rocks to the sea was carpeted in this interesting algae.

A rare and unusual specimen of algae preserved in clear chalcedony. Originally it would have been growing in silica-rich run-off from geothermal hot springs. Kaueranga Valley, Thames
Researchers at Bowling Green State University worked with NexSens Technology to deploy a new monitoring buoy in Sandusky Bay. Algal blooms in Lake Erie are a persistent problem, with the main concern being clean drinking water. This buoy is equipped with sensors to measure algae and provide advanced warning to managers at the Sandusky Big Island Water Works Intake. After deploying the buoy, researchers tested its ability to handle big waves.

Levi Lewis, graduate student at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, measures the density, diversity and height of algae in one of 40 experimental plots, which he has established across 500 meters of natural reef in the Kaanapali region of West Maui, Hawaii.
As part of his dissertation research, Lewis is testing the relative importance of different species (and combinations of species) of herbivorous sea urchins on a natural reef in Maui, Hawaii.
“Coral reefs persist where a balance is maintained between coral and algal growth. The ultimate goal of this particular project is to assess the similarities and differences in the effects of each species of urchin, as well as the consequences of species combinations, on the algal and coral communities,” said Lewis. “The results of such a quantification will tell whether mono-specific, or multi-specific communities of herbivorous urchins might result in the most effective control of algae, and facilitation of coral growth.”
According to Lewis, there is a rapid loss of coral reefs and around the world. It is important that we understand the factors that improve coral reef resistance to algal phase shifts.

Years ago my middle school students studied and photographed filamentous green algae in the classroom, under the microscope. I snagged this one to test out the camera and as a practice shot, to prepare to show them the necessary technique.
This photo is a bit out of focus, so it doesn't illustrate how excellent that little Coolpix was for this type of photography.
