Algae play a vital role in the marine ecosystem. They provide food for all sorts of species, but in rare instances, they can also do harm. Harmful algal blooms occur when colonies of certain types of algae grow out of control and produce toxins that enter the food chain through fish and shellfish. Eventually, the toxins can kill larger marine animals like sea lions, manatees, turtles, and dolphins. It also makes shellfish unsafe for human consumption.
Will the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico create dead zones? That’s the concern of University of Georgia marine scientist Samantha Joye. She’s headed to the gulf to investigate how the oil and methane gas discharged by the BP Deepwater Horizon spill is impacting the ocean microbes that live there. With funding from National Science Foundation, she is also looking at how the dispersants used to break up the oil are impacting marine life, including microbes, fish, and shellfish.
