Why algae and lichen is a problem in Cobh
On Cobh properties, algae and lichen green film on paths, patios, render and signage that stains surfaces and makes them slippery through the winter. In Cobh, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Cork Harbour and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Spike Island and St Colman's Cathedral, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Carrigtwohill and Midleton, are where we most often find established stands.
