South Australia's 2025 Algal Bloom: What We Know, What We're Learning. | Great Southern Reef
South Australia's coastline is facing an unprecedented harmful algal bloom, killing thousands of marine animals from seadragons to sharks. Learn how scientists and citizens are tracking the bloom’s spread and ecological impacts.

NASA scientists test new tool for tracking algal blooms
By the time they were over, a series of massive algal blooms along the west coast of Florida in 2020 would be linked to some 2,000 tons of dead marine life around Tampa Bay. The human costs were stark, too, including a double-digit increase in asthma cases in Sarasota and Pinellas counties, and estimated losses of around $1 billion across economic sectors from tourism to fisheries.

Holographic microscopy shows potential as a red tide warning system
Red tides, caused by Karenia brevis blooms, are a recurring problem in the coastal Gulf of Mexico. The organism, Karenia brevis, produces toxins that can cause fish kills, respiratory irritation in humans and cause death in sea turtles, dolphins, manatees and birds.
Was Florida red tide made worse by Hurricane Ian? Here's what we know
Twenty-two days after Hurricane Ian made landfall, the first signs of a red tide bloom emerged on Florida's Gulf Coast.
