algal bloom
An algal bloom in the Gulf is devastating coastal businesses.
The algal bloom has also killed fish, sea turtles and manatees along the Gulf Coast.
The bloom had been tormenting Florida's coastline inhabitants for well over a year.
The crisis in Florida is yet another warning that we need to take better care of our planet.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Pollution from agriculture and climate change is closing beaches and contributing to dead zones across the country.
The color is caused by the same algae that make flamingos pink.
