Published 3 weeks ago
Description
NOAA researchers link northern fur seal deaths to saxitoxin-producing algae blooms in Alaskas waters. Warmer temperatures and melting sea ice are disrupting the food chain, leading to increased toxin levels. Seals, walruses, and humans are at risk from contaminated fish and shellfish. Scientists are working on monitoring, education, and agency collaboration to protect against this growing threat.
