Toxic Algae Mystery Solved!

Beaches in South Australia turned into a marine graveyard after a toxic algae bloom wiped out millions of sea creatures. Scientists thought they knew the culprit, but DNA tests revealed a rare algae species, Karenia cristata, was behind the chaos—only spotted twice before! This algae pumped out powerful toxins, killing fish and even making people sick. Experts warn these freak blooms could become more common as ocean conditions change. Wild, right? #Science #AlgaeBloom #MarineLife
