Keep alpine lakes and tarns free of lindavia
Lindavia is an introduced microscopic alga that causes a sticky mucus known as ‘lake snow’. It is present in Lakes Rotoiti and Rotoroa.
We need your help to stop it getting to the pristine alpine lakes in Nelson Lakes National Park.
Make sure all your gear is completely dry for 48 hours before swimming or taking water from any alpine lake or tarn, including Rotomaninitua/Lake Angelus.
Be extra careful if you’ve recently swum or filled a drink bottle from Lakes Rotoiti or Rotoroa.
