The Bay has experienced harmful algae blooms 2 years in a row ☹️
📢 We need your help to prevent future outbreaks!
Tell the Water Board to follow the science & reduce the pollution that leads to algae growth: https://baykeeper.org/action-alert/algae-blooms-new-normal

Blue-Green algae is filling rivers with toxic sludge.
Harmful algal blooms are taking over as the world warms and grows richer in carbon dioxide—and there’s no easy fix.
“It’s starting to build. Tomorrow, you’ll find that there’s clumps like that all over the river—and then the day after that there’ll be more and more”.

Is this unusual for Lake Winnipeg? It's pretty #shallow, and shallow #waters get warm, which leads to #algae and related blooms.
Around #Regina, Buffalo Pound Lake famously gets huge blooms every year, and has for at least 40 years, maybe longer. #Wascana Lake, in the city, does too, although not as bad since they dug it deeper a few years ago, so it doesn't get as warm.
It just seems "normal", not a big newsworthy event?
The #warning for dogs/animals is good, though.

Brilliant start to day 4 of #ICAM2023: Plenary from @TheFosterLab with a fascinating look at the use of coralline algae for innovation in #palaeoclimate reconstructions! So much un-tapped potential, with importance for understanding the past so we can better predict the future!

Day 2 of #ICAM2023: packed with great presentations on the taxonomy and speciation of coralline algae!
TLDR: wherever you go in the world, there are many more coralline species than we thought!

RT EU Maritime & Fish
Today 🇪🇺 is one of the biggest importers of #seaweed & #microalgae products 🌍, and the demand is expected keep growing.
We want to fully harness the potential of #algae & support the development of the sector in the EU.

Hydrogen opponents often point to carbon footprint of SMR H2 as a problem. In fact 50% of SMR H2 comes from splitting the steam molecule. 50% of CO2 comes from burning natural gas for process heat. What if a carbon neutral non food feedstock such as algae biomass was used instead of nat gas?

#Coral feeds on nitrogen and phosphorus ions secreted by the #algae that grow on them; they also eat the algae directly to access that sweet, sweet nitrogen and phosphorus. They also encourage the growth of particularly useful algae, which the researchers liken to farming.

Weird request: do I know anyone in or near #Atlanta who farms any kind of #algae? Literally anything as long as it's mostly that (ie. not a fish tank with a tiny bit of algae growing in it, a full tank of algae). Can I smell your algae (not a thing I've asked before)? It's for a thing I'm writing…
🚨 For #American #Science Peeps! 🤩
Twenty different images of #microscopic #photography, including #RedBloodCells, #Macaw #feathers, legs of #barnacles, #mouse #neurons and more! 🔬
I'm tempted to get them just for decoration. 😄
They are #ForeverStamps, always equivalent to the current first-class-mail one oz price.

Reviving a famously polluted California lake.
Knowable Magazine reports: "Clear Lake, the state’s largest freshwater body of water, is fouled each year by algal blooms, one of many assaults endured by the battered ecosystem. Can a multipronged plan help it recover?"
