Meanwhile in Northeast China, a veritable buttload of Algae has showed up on the Qingdao Coastline. Just 28,000 square kilometres of it. No big.
Turns out The Yellow Sea has turned a decidedly vibrant shade of green as tonnes of algae have washed up on the shores, forcing bulldozers to clear the thick muck away. Consider that carefully. There are bulldozers worth of the stuff being shoveled off sand. Appetizing. The algae isn’t toxic, however the carpet that has congealed over the ocean waters proves problematic for the marine life underneath: blocking sunlight and stifling the ecosystems of some species.
You might think wading through a slimy mess wouldn’t be a popular activity for beach goers, but turns out algae-happy holidaymakers and locals think that the Dawn of the Algae is fucking Christmas.
Take a look at some of the pictures that have emerged from the unusual phenomenon, which was caused by an overload of nutrients in the waters.
