With oceans warming up‚ toxic algae blooms are popping up all around the globe. Toxic algae blooms are very harmful and happen when phytoplankton accumulate and create toxins like domoic acid‚ which is a neurotoxin that can be deadly (Geiling). What give the phytoplankton the conditions to grow are the increasing temperatures of the oceans. Emissions are coming from places like cement production (which is a leading cause) deforestation‚ and fossil fuels like coal‚ natural gas and oil‚ which increase

zooxanthalle algae‚ which gives corals their color and food source. When corals loose their zooxanthalle algae they appear white. Global warming has been known to be the reason behind coral reef bleaching. Since corals are very sensitive to temperature change an increase or decrease of one degree Celsius can trigger them to bleach. Soon after severe bleaching they often die. When temperatures exceed maximum levels for long enough the relationship between the zooxanthalle algae and the corals
