Leading-edge research aims to predict, limit harmful algal blooms - Science Nation

The video explores research by marine ecologist Carol Thornber and her team on the impact of climate change on coastal systems, focusing on macroalgae or seaweed. The team studies how seaweed blooms affect marine life and coastal environments, including fish stocks and wetlands. They investigate the causes of these blooms, their interactions, and their potential to turn carbon sinks into sources. The research aims to provide insights into managing seaweed blooms globally.

What methods are being used to study the interactions between different kinds of macroalgae?

Why is understanding macroalgal blooms important for global ecological systems?
