Baltimore’s Pistachio Tide Crisis | Annapolis News

Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is facing a bizarre and stinky environmental crisis — a “pistachio tide” hitting earlier than ever this summer, turning the water milky green and smelling like rotten eggs. Scientists blame a deadly combo of heat, rain, and low oxygen levels that triggered algae die-offs and bacterial blooms, leading to mass fish kills. Satellite data shows these events are spreading and happening more often — a troubling sign of climate change’s grip on the harbor’s fragile ecosystem. While the algae might help re-oxygenate water, the stench and ecological damage are here to stay. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
