2010-08-20
Staff from the Longgang district marine environment monitoring center take samples for testing in waters off Nan’ao on Wednesday afternoon. The area of red tide, a phenomenon caused by algal blooms, has been increasing in recent days, spreading to Yueliang Bay and Yangchou Bay in the city’s eastern coast. The intensity of red tide has increased with the color of sea water turning dark brown. Marine affairs authorities have warned residents against swimming in waters where algal blooms have been known to occur. Red tide could possibly cause skin itching and discomfort.Cheng Haikun
