'Like an underwater bushfire': South Australia's marine algal bloom is still killing almost everything in its path

82% Informative
South Australian beaches have been awash with foamy, discolored water and dead marine life for months .
Water testing soon revealed the cause of a harmful algal bloom of Karenia mikimotoi.
The algae irritates fish gills, causes cell death and bleeding.
It also causes hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the blood, when the algae dies off, leaving marine life to suffocate.
Scientists had hoped strong westerly winds would break it up and push it out to sea.
This bloom already has lasted three months , and there's no guarantee the end is near. Recovery will be slow, as shown in the historical record and other parts of the world. And the risk of a repeat event is high. Further research is needed to keep these ancient organisms in check. Provided by The Conversation.
