Oh god, isn't that where all our lovely spirulina and blue manna comes from? I not heard it but would be interested to know. I did hear that the Utah lakes are very low levels of water now, or at least have been, not sure if that has improved now?
Well it is described as certified organic here

Also it appears that Upper Klamath Lake where all algae is harvested is not actually polluted. Klamath Lake is in Oregon.

I lived in Klamath Falls for six years and everyone in that area thought the whole blue/green algae thing was such a joke because no one would ever touch the lake let alone eat anything out of it..
why wouldnt anyone eat anything out of it?
Maybe because I've heard dogs have gotten liver failure from drinking out of the lake? I just heard that little fact somewhere..because there are toxic algaes in it as well as the blue green algae.
Rawmanibbles, I asked someone who works in the Klamath Algae industry and this is the answer that I got:
"I think there is more of a problem further down stream on the Klamath river as opposed to Upper Klamath Lake... Is pretty pristine with very few peeps actually living along it. it gets tested very often and is monitored by the fish and game peeps pretty seriously to control fish pops so I don't know about the pollution thing in the lake. I think it's the river... I'm sure we wouldn't be able to harvest if so..."
