Red tide makes Australian beaches closed
On November 27, Australian authorities were forced to close down many famous beaches because of red algae.
Clovelly Beach
Famous beaches such as Bondi, Clovelly, Maroubra, Gordon's Bay . have been dyed in burgundy because of the red algae swarming to the shore, carrying unpleasant fishy smell.
Australian officials said the phenomenon of red algae ashore is not frequent but not seen at beaches in Australia, especially the famous Bondi beach. Many beaches may have to be closed for a long time if red algae continue to drift ashore when the temperature is forecast to reach more than 40 degrees Celsius by the end of this week.
Red algae drifted ashore, also known as 'red tide', which usually occurs in the spring and fall when the sea temperature rises and ocean currents move more strongly. They can cause allergies to people with sensitive skin, causing eye damage, and producing toxins harmful to marine animals.
Australian authorities are currently conducting trials at the red algae beaches that flood the shore to better identify the cause of the 'incident'.
