22 August 2025

Green algae cover the lake at Daecheong Lake in Daejeon, South Korea, on August 23, 2025. Green algae blooms occur when nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from land are washed into water bodies by rain, and water temperatures rise, creating ideal conditions for harmful cyanobacteria to thrive. Cyanobacteria, a type of phytoplankton, are essential components of aquatic ecosystems. However, when they proliferate excessively, they can produce foul odors, degrade water quality, and even cause fish deaths. This year, green algae in Daecheong Lake begin spreading in the latter part of last month.

A decommissioned boat was seen in the beach on September 30, 2023, in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. The increased concentration of chemicals, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, in the coastal ocean promotes the growth of algal blooms, which can be toxic to wildlife and harmful to humans. The negative effects on health and the environment caused by algal blooms hurt the local fishing and tourism industries.
