Dinoflagellates can be harmful primarily due to their ability to produce toxins, leading to harmful algal blooms (HABs). These blooms can deplete oxygen in the water, resulting in dead zones that harm marine life. Additionally, some dinoflagellates produce neurotoxins that can accumulate in shellfish, posing health risks to humans who consume contaminated seafood. Overall, their harmful effects can disrupt marine ecosystems and threaten public health.
