Enormous algae bloom in China
In this image, residents of the city of Qingdao in Shandong province, China, are walking along a beach. Seriously, this is a beach.
Starting in 2007, this area of China, a province on the coast of the Yellow Sea, has suffered the appearance of massive amounts of green algae. The algae, also known as “sea lettuce” is non-toxic, but it does choke off other marine life and drive away tourism as it begins to rot.
