Toxic Algae Blooms Infest Florida Beaches

What officials have called “unprecedented” toxic algae blooms in some of southern Florida’s beaches and waterways created a messy 4th of July holiday for those in the area. Thousands of residents and tourists had to cancel plans to celebrate on the area’s usually packed beaches — keeping the majority of celebrations inland. The algae, which has been described as “vile”-smelling and “guacamole-thick,” still remained in the waterways of Martin County this morning — more than two weeks after the first reports of algae blooms came in. http://wtnh.com/2016/07/05/toxic-algae-blooms-infest-florida-beaches/
