I don't think they are more prevalent then in the past, I think the awareness is greater than it has been in the past.
I have seen the green stuff when ice fishing.
We are in a time in history when the current politics and generation think the planet is more polluted then ever, when, in fact, at least in the US, it is much cleaner then it was just 30 or 40 years ago. Nevertheless, for good, or for bad, there is a knee jerk reaction every time someone sees anything other then super clear water.
Actually the super clear water is sterile and not conductive to life. Many fish, especially the young of the year and all rainbow, consume large quantities of the algae. The prey all consume the Algae.
Remove the Algae and you remove the fish. And PS, the blue green is only dangerous in very concentrated amounts. It actually adds oxygen to the water.
