toxic micro algae bloom (Karenia mikimotoi)
Encounter Bay, Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia
Some background on the toxic microalgae bloom that stayed along the south coast from the Coorong, Victor Harbor to Kangaroo Island to York Peninsula during the autumn months.
The micro-algae bloom is currently breaking up due to the early winter storms and the lower temperatures on the surface of the shallow coastal and gulf waters. The toxic micro-algae bloom has killed a lot of shell-fish, fish, seals, penguins and birds and also destroyed parts of the Great Southern Reef. However, the deeper waters around Kangaroo Island have not cooled
