Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Identifying plants Is this blue-green algae?

Some fresh bright green stuff back today but wind keeping it corralled in the two northeastern corners of the pond. One are probably 25'x25' and another 25'x50'. None of the paint looking stuff, but I imagine the bright green stuff eventually as it ages and dies turns into the paint looking stuff. That seems to what happened earlier.

Rest of the 3 acre pond looks fine as long as the wind is blowing. If the wind quits blowing it seems to spread out and bloom all over the pond area. At least that is my observation so far. The concentrated green stuff smells too. Distinctive smell when I get downwind of it. Try to avoid any significant time exposed to the vapors.
