Some protists can be harmful to the environment by causing harmful algal blooms (HABs), which deplete oxygen in water and produce toxins that can harm aquatic life and disrupt ecosystems. These blooms can lead to fish kills, loss of biodiversity, and contamination of drinking water sources. Additionally, certain parasitic protists can negatively impact wildlife and livestock, further affecting ecosystem health. Overall, while many protists are beneficial, some can have detrimental effects on environmental stability and health.
