Yikes! And I thought #KareniaMikimotoi was bad...
#SeaDragon populations decimated in ‘mind-blowing’ mass mortality event caused by #SouthAustralian #AlgalBloom
Thousands of #SeaDragons, #pipefishes and #seahorses have washed up along state’s coastline according to analysis of #CitizenScientist recordsPetra Stock
Sat 19 Sep 2026Excerpt: "Stefan Andrews, a marine biologist and co-founder of the Great Southern Reef Foundation, said the scale of the mortalities was 'mind blowing', especially for animals like sea dragons, which were rare to see and found in only a handful of locations along the coast.
More than 800 species have been affected in Australia’s first bloom of #KareniaCristata, a rare and toxic type of algae deadly to marine life."Surveys and reports were beginning to put numbers on the devastating toll, such as the catastrophic decline in #GiantCuttlefish this year, research made possible through the contributions of #CitizenScientists and divers.
" 'We saw so many people just step up and do their bit to report observations,' he said. 'Sometimes mortalities that wash up on the beach could have disappeared in a matter of hours. So to have all of this data and information that scientists can analyse deeply is so useful to get an understanding of what’s going on.' "

#CascoBay #AlgaeBloom weakens in some areas, but shellfish impacts to continue
Harpswell's harbormaster said as the algae dies, it uses up oxygen marine life need to survive.
by Alex Haskell (NCM)
September 21, 2026HARPSWELL, Maine — "An algae bloom believed to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of shellfish in Casco Bay is weakening in some areas, but local officials said its effects could continue for weeks, and recovery could take years.
"The bloom has affected waters off #HarpswellME and #BrunswickME in recent weeks. Harpswell Harbormaster Darcie Couture said monitoring shows some improvement in places that were hit early.
" 'The areas that were first impacted, we’re watching the cell counts go down,' Couture said.
"However, declining algae levels can create another problem for marine life. As the algae dies, it uses up dissolved oxygen in the water.
" 'Dissolved oxygen is what’s out there in the water that everything else needs to survive—all the clams, the fish, everything that lives there,' Couture said. 'So we’re potentially looking at a second wave of impacts.'
"It could take days or weeks for oxygen levels to return to normal, according to Couture. In the meantime, additional marine life could die as oxygen levels remain low.
"Officials are also watching new blooms developing elsewhere in the region, including the #NewMeadowsRiver area at the northern end of Casco Bay.
" 'We’re trying to figure how to manage that and continue to track the bloom,' Couture said.
"The bloom has also prompted harvesting restrictions. Hundreds of acres of #mudflats under stress from the bloom are now closed to shellfish harvesting in Brunswick and Harpswell.
" 'The closure was put in place because of a request from the two towns over concerns that continued harvesting will cause additional stress and increased mortality,' Maine Department of Marine Resources Communications Director Jeff Nichols said in a statement.
"While those closures directly affect where shellfish harvesters can work, officials are still determining what the bloom could mean for local aquaculture operations.
" 'We’ve had some reports of sickly-looking oysters,' Couture told NEWS CENTER Maine.
"The full extent of the damage may not become clear for some time. Couture said the algae bloom could linger until late fall, and officials will need to conduct a survey after it disappears to determine its overall effect on the area's shellfish.
"She said the affected mudflats could take years to fully recover.
"Intense weather this fall could also complicate the situation by pushing additional blooms toward Maine waters, Couture added."

Increased temperatures and longer days = an increased likelihood of harmful algae blooms in the Bay.

"Lough Neagh’s recurrent algal blooms, which choke aquatic life, are caused by an overload of phosphorus and nitrogen entering the lough system."
We have known about the relationship between #nutrient_runoff, #eutrophication and #algaebloom of all types since at least 1970 (well, at least those of of us who were old enough to follow the news, and actually paid attention to the environmental news.) Why hasn't there been more action to correct these problems?

🐙THEME: Algal Bloom - Justice for our Oceans 🐟🐠🐟🐙🚣🚣🏾🚣🏿
Our oceans are in crisis, and we can all step up to help 🐬
🗓️ Sunday 31 August from 4:30pm
For August, SAGE's headline session will cover the algal bloom off SA's coasts, with guests that will give us scientific, cultural and activist perspectives. Come find out what the algal bloom is, how the community is taking action, and how you can get involved!
As always, anyone can come run a session, whether it's on the theme or on anything else they like. Check out our other posts on open space workshops to get ideas.
The night will start with a shared meal, then we will move into community announcements, then into the open space workshops, with lots of space for social breaks throughout.
Some (optional) things you might want to bring...
• A plate of food to share
• Veggies or seedlings for this month's swap
Clothes or materials for the mending corner if you would like to do some mending-plus
some coins for the SAGE community op shop!Run through of how the night will (roughly) go...

We need your help keeping an eye out for #algae blooms in the Bay 🦠
As the weather heats up, conditions will be ripe for harmful algae blooms (HABs). After a devastating #HAB in 2022, we ramped up our algae monitoring program and now have a team algae sampling across the Bay Area through the summer.
But we could always use more eyes on the Bay 👀 If you see coffee-colored water or unusually red or bright green water in the Bay, take photos, note down the time & exact location, and reach out to our pollution tip line: https://baykeeper.org/report-pollution/
Photos: First two photos are of brown-colored water during a small algae bloom in #Alameda in 2024 that luckily dissipated quickly. The third photo is a close-up image of the alga Akashiwo sanguinea 🔬 and the last image is of our team collecting samples from the Bay #algaebloom #harmfulalgaeblooms #sanfraniscobay #bayarea #sfbay #waterpollution
