Last summer's fish-killing #algae bloom is back in the Bay:
“Two years in a row is quite alarming,” our science director Jon Rosenfield told KQED, noting that it remained unclear how bad the bloom will get.
“There’s really nothing that people can do to stop a bloom like this once it’s started. It just has to burn itself out.”

"There have been over a thousand reports of sick and dead mammals washing ashore, between June 8 and June 14, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

"The cause for the deaths of these sea creatures has been identified as harmful #algae growing in large numbers along the Southern California coast.

"Scientists have said that the increased numbers of algal blooms across the world are due to #ClimateChange.
