"Harmful algal blooms, sometimes called HABs, occur when algae grow out of control. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that mostly live in water and rely on the sunlight for energy. Because of climate change, the frequency and intensity of harmful algal blooms are increasing globally. Researchers at Hiroshima University have uncovered new insights into how algae species interact with each other and their environment in coastal waters".

Group warns of potentially polluted water identified at #MaineBeaches

"Thirty-six beaches in Maine were considered potentially unsafe for swimming on at least one day of #bacteria testing in 2022, according to a recent report.

"Sewage overflows and runoff pollution contaminated the waters surrounding multiple popular swimming spots such as #GoochsBeach in #Kennebunkport and #FerryBeach in #Scarborough.

"John Rumpler is the clean water director at the Environment Maine Research & Policy Center who co-authored the report.

"When we pave over everything with #ParkingLots, #StripMalls and big #roadways, that water has nowhere to go, so it sweeps up all the #pollution on the surface and pulls it right into nearby #rivers, #streams, and #coastalwaters, or overwhelms our combined sewage systems,' Rumpler says.

"Rumpler says that preserving the state's #wetlands can restore and expand the land's natural capacity to absorb rain water, and continuing to repair #sewage #infrastructure across the state is a step in the right direction.

"With the heavy precipitation these last few weeks, Rumpler is worried that pollution levels may be higher.

"Beach water quality updates can be found on the Maine Department of Environmental Protection website."

The Public Trust Doctrine from the Good Law Project:

"Our Legal director, Emma, explains how an ancient legal principle, the Public Trust Doctrine, could be used to stop the destruction of rivers and coastal waters by water companies."

We're trying to force the Government to act now to stop the pollution of UK waters. Visit our Crowdjustice for more info or to donate."
