#ManMade #AlgaeBlooms called #RedTides are killing off #MarineLife and finally #California #wastewater districts are working together to clean & limit #fertilizing #Phosphorus #Nitrogen and #Nutrient rich sludge releases into the region's regulatory vacuum and sewer they call #SanFrancisco Bay. This month #Marin, #Alameda and #Berkeley Marina have all had #HarmfulAlgaeBlooms or #HAB occurrences monitored by #SanFranciscoBay Regional #WaterQuality Control Board and other agencies who are all largely powerless to stop the disgusting #discharges causing the #toxic conditions.

More than two-thirds of the region's nitrogen comes from sewage treatment plants, which collectively dump about 50,000 kilograms into Bay waters every day. While many natural factors create a red tide, named for the discolored water, these nutrient releases are manmade — and can be controlled, experts say.
