A mysterious sea bubble appeared on the coast of South Australia, making surfers sick and killing marine creatures from fish to octopus and more. The bubble has landed on Waitpinga and Parsons Beach near Adelaide and has caused hundreds of surfers to get sick.
Local surfer Anthony Rowland told guardian. After surfing in the bubble, Roland reported: “I’m really ras.
So far, it is unclear whether the foam is related to the recent slamming of the former tropical cyclone on Australia’s east coast. However, the area has experienced a similar situation.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, a spokesperson reported:
“The EPA has received multiple reports that dead fish and seahors can be found on the shore, and red stains on the sand and foam on the beach.
“The EPA is working with other agencies…to participate in the site and collect water samples.
“This is believed to be due to the microflower’s caused by hot temperatures and still water and ongoing ocean heat waves that are driven by microalgae flowers, which are currently 2.5°C higher than usual, with wind and small expansion helping the conditions.”
