Water & safety: We don't have an official feed or a recent satellite pass here β€” treat this as unknown, not safe. Β· algal-bloom proxy: No recent ocean-colour pass. We can't tell you whether it's safe to get in, call the currents, or vouch for marine life β€” mind the local flags/lifeguard and your own limits. This panel is informational; it never makes a safety call.
