2018 Florida Gulf Coast fish kill due to algae bloom. Apparently last year's Florida algae blooms can make dolphins and us stupid.
Scientists have discovered that toxic chemicals found in algae can cause Alzheimer's-like brain disease in dolphins. Fish tainted with the toxin can pass it on to those who eat them, like us. These algae blooms are directly related to climate change as the earth warms up. In Floriduh, a state held captive for two decades by Republican climate change deniers-- and the sugar cane/agri/chemical lobbies that finance their election campaigns-- 150 dolphins died during last year's Gulf Coast algae bloom. Unfortunately, I suspect nothing will be done by the state until people start dying. Especially Republican voters.
