The blue-green algae situation has remained stable since last week. In inland waters, blue-green algae observations have slightly decreased, and the algae situation in coastal areas has remained unchanged. In sea areas, windy weather has largely mixed blue-green algae with water mass. In recent days, blue-green algae have been observed especially in the west of Hanko and the Upinniemi open sea area.

The 30th anniversary report of the national Nocturna moth monitoring, coordinated by the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) and launched in 1993, presents the history, background and changing species of moths in Finland. Nocturna is one of Finland's longest-running monitorings of species and the third longest-running moth monitoring in Europe. As moths are sensitive to changes in the environment, their monitoring provides valuable information about the effects of global warming, for example.
