After a friend of mine bought some for himself, I joined in on the Marimo craze. I own 4 of these strangely adorable algae balls. They are natural water filters considered sacred in Japan and I absolutely love 'em.
Algae blooms caused by human and animal waste are becoming a common occurrence on Funafuti, due to poor water systems management. Algae blooms damage marine ecosystems. Photo credit: Elizabeth Yarina
Sometimes when I am on the walking path above the spillway, I can look down and see this. There is a shallow part of the water where the big fish gather. Shallow enough that the fish can be seen even though the water is murky. This large carp appeared to be eating algae, or stuff in the algae. It was using that mouth like a vacuum cleaner.

Laguna Colorada
Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon) is a shallow salt lake in the southwest of the altiplano of Bolivia, within Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve
The lake contains borax islands, whose white color contrasts nicely with the reddish color of its waters, which is caused by red sediments and pigmentation of some algae.
James's Flamingos abound in the area. Also it is possible to find Andean and Chilean flamingos, but in a minor quantity.
The Kivijärvi river has got bacteria and then the water becomes green. It is also called blue-green algae.
