About this document
Understanding Algal Blooms and Their Impact by Joanna Tengco is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Algal blooms occur when algae grows rapidly due to high nutrient levels and suitable conditions. While algae is a natural part of aquatic environments, large blooms can be harmful by depleting oxygen levels when the algae dies off, killing other aquatic life. Blooms can also degrade water quality, interfere with industries like fishing and tourism, and produce toxins in some cases. The impacts of algal blooms are ecological, social, and economic.
