State officials say algae bloom in Monmouth waters is breaking up


The algae bloom that has affected ocean waters off Monmouth County recently is dissipating and breaking up, according to a state spokeswoman.

"Patches of algal foam were observed (today) along the coast from Sandy Hook to Manasquan, but in less quantities than previous days,'' said Elaine Makatura, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Environmental Protection.


I can confirm that the bloom is gone ...have not seen it on the beach in Belmar in a few days
