The toxin causes seizures, coma or even death."This is the earliest the algae has appeared with its most severe accumulations between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties, according to NOAA Fisheries. Impacted marine life was first observed around Feb. 20, near Malibu. Some scientists believe runoff from this year's wildfires in Los Angeles may have contributed as earlier studies have found elevated nutrients offshore following previous fires."'What is unique about this event is that this bloom is very early in the season and doesn't appear to be associated with strong winds or a thick marine layer like we have seen in the past,' said Michelle Herman Kowalewski, founder and director at the Channel Islands Cetacean Research Unit."In addition to the early bloom, researchers also report finding higher concentrations of the toxin."'We've been seeing more toxin both in the organism itself and then also in the animals that are acquiring it,' said Clarissa Anderson, director of the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System."'They seem to have more toxin in their tissues. So it may be that the naturally occurring plankton is starting to produce more toxin over time, and that might be why we see more impacts,' Anderson added."This is the fourth consecutive year an algae bloom has impacted Southern California marine life. While there is little that can be done to help dolphins, veterinarians say sea lions can be brought into rehabilitation facilities where the domoic acid can be flushed from their systems." <a href="https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/toxic-algae-off-southern-california-kills-hundreds-of-sea-lions-dolphins-birds/1761408" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/toxic-algae-off-southern-california-kills-hundreds-of-sea-lions-dolphins-birds/1761408</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ToxicAlgalBlooms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ToxicAlgalBlooms</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HABs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HABs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a>
