Invasive algae found in second spot in Minnesota – in Turtle Lake near Bemidji

Not for nothing are they called invasive.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) confirmed expanded findings of two invasive species Wednesday, the starry stonewort and zebra mussels.

Stonewort, first reported in Stearns and Meeker counties, now has been found in Turtle Lake near Bemidji, some three hours directly north. The DNR also reported finding zebra mussels in five additional central Minnesota lakes and put out yet another call for “personal responsibility,” but also sought to allay fears.
