, including some utilized by waterfowl hunters (e.g. Spruce Run Reservoir). Such blooms can be harmful not only to people but to animals, including hunting dogs. Hunters should be aware that dogs can become ill from drinking the water from a waterbody or by licking their fur after swimming where an ongoing bloom is occurring. Hunters are advised to check the DEP’s
