"A colorful toxic slime has blanketed several communities on Florida’s Gulf Coast, covering boats, docks and wildlife with a thick green goop and forcing people out of their homes."
"Green slime is only one of the colorful ecological disasters plaguing Florida. Wind and currents chose this summer to push algae called Karenia brevis, commonly found in the Gulf of Mexico, along 130 miles of the western coast. The resulting algae produces neurotoxins that can kill fish and animals and cause respiratory problems in people."
I sail BC waters pretty much year round. Our pristine waters are also changing for the worse.
