Anyone else worried / bothered about the algae explosion in the Fethiye area?

It has been like that for some time now, we were over in June and it was an electric green/yellow, very weird looking.  We were told it was pollen, so surprised it is still that colour.

This was in the Fethiye Times
https://www.fethiyetimes.com/news/44-news/31193-fethiye-times-news-week-ending-06-july-2019.html

And the week before that the FT said the sea colour had returned to normal!

Strange that the green sea problem has only been happening in the last few years it seemed to start when the all inclusive resort opened futher down the cost. Coincidence?

The same link was posted on Facebook yesterday.  It shows how clean the water is.  Zoom in and click for information re Calis beach
Seems it's the dirtiest in the area.
I am quite concerned about bathing in the sea now to be honest. 
The smell around the harbour area was quite horrendous when we were over in June.
The green so called algae coupled with a covering of white scum looked and smelled absolutely awful.
There has been so much money spent in the area over the past few years but unless this is dealt with properly tourism will surely suffer

In Corfu, the beaches all have the EU blue flags BUT many of the hotels discharge effluent into the sea on a regular basis during the summer months.

The Govt.map when zoomed in shows that the water is “well quality and swimmable”which by their figures shows as cleaner than 2018
