Blooms, particularly harmful algal blooms (HABs), can be dangerous because they produce toxins that can contaminate water supplies, harm aquatic life, and pose health risks to humans and animals. These toxins can lead to respiratory issues, skin irritations, and gastrointestinal illnesses if ingested or inhaled. Additionally, blooms can deplete oxygen in the water, causing dead zones that threaten fish and other marine organisms. The economic impact on fisheries and tourism can also be significant, affecting local communities.
