Harmful #algal blooms in #lakes and #reservoirs are explosions of cyanobacteria, often referred to as blue-green algae. #Microscopic #organisms ubiquitous in all types of water around the globe, cyanobacteria use sunlight to make their own food and in warm, nutrient-rich environments can quickly multiply

The #algal blooms increasingly seen in Canadian lakes have been linked to both nutrient #pollution from #agricultural runoff and #climate change. However, a new Concordia-led study using #DNA sequencing of lakebed #microbes reveals that these two drivers amplify each other in ways that profoundly affect the health of lake #ecosystems.

"What is causing this?
Things to know about FDA warning on paralytic shellfish poisoning in Pacific Northwest
by CLAIRE RUSH
Updated 5:29 PM EDT, June 10, 2024
"A 'very large' #algal bloom has resulted in “unprecedented levels” of PSP toxins along Oregon’s coast, Matthew Hunter, shellfish program manager for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said during a briefing.
"The toxins have accumulated in the shellfish, sickening some people who have eaten them.
"While the factors that create harmful algal blooms are not well understood, certain factors — resulting from both natural processes and human activities — are believed to play a role, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
“'Studies show that many algal species flourish when wind and water currents are favorable,' the agency says on a webpage dedicated to explaining harmful algal blooms. Some blooms, it says, stem from 'sluggish water circulation, unusually high #WaterTemperatures, and #ExtremeWeather events like #hurricanes, #floods, and #drought.'
"Algae growth can also increase when nutrients used in #fertilizers, mainly phosphorus and nitrogen, flow into bodies of water, according to the agency."

#PhotoOfTheDay: Ethereal #Algal vortex blooms at the heart of massive Baltic 'dead zone'
In 2018, satellite images captured a stunning spiral of #Cyanobacteria blooming in the Baltic Sea.
The swirling mass of microbes helped to create a massive "dead zone" the size of West Virginia that starved the surrounding water of oxygen.

California toxic algal bloom kills or sickens hundreds of dolphins and sea lions
Hundreds of #sea #lions and #dolphins are sprawled across the beaches in Southern California, either dead or sick and exhibiting abnormal behavior.
Officials have received more than 1,000 calls in recent weeks from beachgoers, tourists and residents reporting sick, dying and dead sea mammals washed ashore from #SantaBarbara to #SanDiego County, amid a growing #toxic #algal #bloom in the waters off the coast.
The wave of dead or sick animals is “one of the largest in memory,” Justin Greenman, a stranding coordinator with NOAA Fisheries, told CNN. “It’s completely overwhelming.”
