Record-breaking toxic algae bloom worse than feared
Greetings,
Record-breaking toxic algae bloom worse than feared

A record-breaking toxic algae bloom that began in May along the West Coast is denser, more widespread and deeper than scientists originally feared, and it has expanded into the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.
Algae blooms are not uncommon in the Pacific Ocean but the size and duration of this one, stretching from Southern California to Alaska, is historic, according to NOAA, and it continues to impact marine life and local economies to the tune of millions of dollars.
The toxic algae bloom is up to 40 miles wide and 650 feet deep in places, according to surveyors aboard a NOAA research vessel.
Vera Trainer of NOAA’s Northwest Science Center told USA Today recently that “It’s unprecedented.”
Trainer said it’s the worst she’s seen it in the 20 years of studying toxic algae blooms, saying they are usually limited to one area of the ocean or another and disappear after a few weeks. This one has grown for months and it isn’t going away.
“It’s been incredibly thick, almost all the same organism,” UC Santa Cruz ocean sciences professor Raphael Kudela told AP. “Looks like a layer of hay.
“It’s really working its way into the food web and we’re definitely seeing the impacts of that.”…..More Here
