Florida's coastline is at risk from an algae bloom which could stay for months. This is the largest red bloom that has been seen in the area in the last one decade. The bloom has already taken the lives of thousands of fish and also threatens tourism in this coast.
On Thursday things turned worst when the researchers predicted that the bloom is possible going to be washed to the shore in another two weeks. When it reaches the shore the toxic algae will become a massive threat to human health.
Such red algae blooms result from algae bloom that goes out of control. Algae give out toxic substances which are unsafe and lethal for fish as well as other marine organisms. Not only that the toxins from algae also cause harm to human life as they can result in causing respiratory problems such as wheezing and coughing.
Brandon Basino, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) said, the red bloom "could have large impacts if it were to move inshore. It has been killing a lot of marine species, especially fish, as it waits offshore."
