She and her husband Ed are known to capture the images.
"In the morning and the weekends I'll say are we chasing algae today?"
Ed captured a possible algae bloom on Lake Okeechobee Saturday.
On Monday, WPTV received a NOAA image showing large algae bloom activity on the lake.
That's a big concern as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers continues to discharge water east and west.
A spokesperson says the Corps has not decided whether to discontinue those releases, but are aware of the activity on the lake.
Meanwhile Mary Radabaugh at Central Marine is having flashbacks.
"It's not good," said Radabaugh.
The Department of Environmental Protection is aware and took samples of the algae Monday.
