"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?

🌊 AUGUST SAGE ANNOUNCEMENT

🐙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...
4:30-5:15: Arriving, Sharing food.
5:15-5:45: Welcome, Community Announcements.
5:45-7:45: Open Space Workshop Sessions.
7:45: Closing Circle.

All welcome. Come anytime that suits you. See you there!

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
