Dead Duckling Sparks Algae Mystery
Description
A dead duckling and green algae have turned the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into a symbol of controversy after a $13 million renovation. Officials blame cyanobacteria blooms, treating the water with hydrogen peroxide while assuring safety levels. But President Trump blames vandalism, accusing unseen forces of poisoning the pool with chemicals to “destroy and demean” the work. The U.S. Attorney vows full prosecution for defacing government property, and arrests have already been made. Now, the focus is on restoring the pool’s pristine look — and protecting it from further sabotage.
