Most of what I can find online is that Mississippi officials are still advising folks not to swim in any Mississippi coastal waters due to the algae bloom. I would assume this includes Bay St. Louis. A few folks that live there have told me it has cleared up and the advisory has been lifted.

Can anyone advise definitively on this? Any links?

There was an issue with Blue algae here in Missouri. Close to 8 dogs died from swimming in their owners/friends ponds.

Not sure what caused it, or if it's still an issue, but people were really worried about it.

Same thing happened in Michigan. I would call the Ann Arbor Mayor first to check and see if it’s safe.

Same in Austin, TX.. lots of dead dogs over the past month unfortunately from swimming in the toxic algae water in Towne/Lady Bird Lake.. signs up all over now saying dogs swimming is prohibited there, sucks cause there used to be tons of dogs around there.

Last weekend there were people swimming in the bay, but I wouldnt swim yet. If you go up the wolf river there are some redneck beaches along the river. Don't worry about bringing your own radio everyone else will be blaring theirs.
