AI Reveals Surge in Global Algae Blooms | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Scientists using AI have uncovered a global surge in ocean algae blooms, with macroalgae like seaweed exploding by over 13% annually since 2008—especially in the tropical Atlantic and western Pacific. While these blooms can boost marine habitats, they also cause foul odors, ecosystem damage, and economic losses for coastal communities. Driven by warming waters, shifting currents, and human nutrient runoff, this trend highlights how climate change and human activity are reshaping our oceans—and AI is now helping us track it all.
