Toxic algae bloom up north shuts down fisheries


Commercial and recreational fisheries up and down the West Coast have been forced to close as a result of a massive toxic algal bloom, which scientists are describing as one of the largest in history.

An interesting event from a scientific 'view"

"Scientists first noticed a patch of unusually warm water off the West Coast in the fall of 2013, and have since attributed everything from the California drought to the recent swarm of red crabs on California beaches to the so-called “blob.” Though the blob has since dissipated, ocean temperatures off the Pacific coast remain about 2° Celsius warmer than normal."

Change is always fun to investigate ... at least I think so .. helped when "finding" what they were biting on ... go figure :biggrin::biggrin:

Thanks for the post
