Algal Bloom off Tasmania
Published October 28, 2004
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua and Terra satellites helped scientists identify this large algal bloom off the eastern coast of Tasmania. Large blooms have not been detected in the Tasman Sea in the past, and scientists from CSIRO Marine Research, the largest marine research organization in Australia, believe this one resulted from the natural upwelling of nutrients along the island’s coast. The bloom is made up of coccolithophores, and is not believed to be harmful to the coastal ecosystem.
