With the confirmation of the presence of didymo, a deadly algae, in the Upper Connecticut River and portions of the White River near Bethel, Vermont, officials will begin a sign campaign. Signs will be placed at boat launch sites, etc. to educate the public on how to avoid spreading this algae.

When officials get there with their signs, they may find some already put up by concerned fisherman who didn’t want to wait.

The Boston Globe has more on this.
