Anderson Lake

Pollution

I snapped this photo while kayaking on Anderson Lake in Saltcoats. It is very sad to see how polluted the lake is. The whole lake is green with algae. I would not go swimming in this lake. It is hard to imagine that any thing can live in the lake with this much pollution. However, I did spot little minnows and scuds swimming about in the muck. So as long as we have these little critters than the lake can attract the birds that come to eat them.
