To attempt to reduce the damage caused by destructive algae bloom growths, NASA has been testing new satellite-based tools since 2020.
Around 2,000 tonnes of dead marine life were attributed to this series of huge algal blooms along Florida's west coast. The human costs were just as severe, with a reported significant increase in asthma cases in the counties of Sarasota and Pinellas and estimated losses of $1 billion in various economic sectors, from fishing to tourism.
When waves crash on the shore, the algae cells are broken and the poisons can be discharged into the nearby water and air. Brevetoxins that have been aerosolized can then cause respiratory irritation and other health issues in people. In addition, these algae create poisons that can hurt and even kill fish, sea turtles, marine mammals, and other aquatic life.
The appearance of toxic algae, the boom-bust cycle of fisheries, and other variables that have an impact on commercial industries can all be predicted with the use of this tool.
