Unique and extremely rare phenomenon
occured Friday on the southern coastline. Since
early morning, in the Olympus Resort area, the sea changed into a deep
red
color. Tourists in the resort were able to experience a dip in the "Red
Sea".
The "affected" area stretched from Olympus Resort, near the Fishermen Halt, right up to Neptune Resort. Specialists give us assurances that it's not a harmful to health phenomenon, and it's about some ordinary, microscopic algae.
"Certainly, because of the heat and because that area is one with worm water golf, there was a bloom of the microscopic red algae. It is a rare phenomenon, especially since it's not about "ordinary" algae that usually gather on the shore", declared Doctor Mariana Petre, Director of Public Health Department of Mangalia.
