Daily Express: Toxic algae that first turned up in the York River in 2007 hasn't merely taken hold - its bloom has exploded this summer in the Chesapeake Bay and beyond, expanding farther and lasting longer than scientists have ever seen before. Water samples taken this summer show the algae, called Alexandrium monilatum, has spread from Virginia Beach to the James, York and Rappahannock rivers to the Eastern Shore. One marine expert suspects it has even reached as far north as the Potomac River. Scientists...

PhysOrg: Diatoms are largely unseen due to their microscopic size but they are the most abundant and diverse single-celled phytoplankton (or microalgae) in the ocean. These ancient lifeforms arose during the Triassic period, about 200-250 million years ago. They house themselves in intricate glass cases, the patterns and structures of which delight artists, architects and engineers as well as marine biologists. Take a breath But are they really important? Take a breath in. Ocean phytoplankton produce...

Satellite Data Helps Detect Harmful Algal Blooms
2016-04-11 00:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Freshwater polluted by harmful algal blooms costs the United States at least $64 million every year, by government estimates. Now four federal agencies are collaborating on a $3.6 million research project to transform satellite data into information in formats that managers can use to protect human health and the environment from harmful algal blooms. The four agencies -- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric...
