Sea water turns green

in #esteem4 years ago

Hi everyone's! Welcome to my blog


Have you ever read one of the news published by one of the TEMPO.CO media? If there is, of course, you will know about the occurrence of natural phenomena that occur on one of the beaches in the Batang Kajai region and Gaung Market, Padang, Monday, December 23, 2019 at 14.00 West Indonesia Time, the natural phenomenon that occurs in sea water looks green. That happens when the sea water is exposed to the reflection of sunlight, the color of sea water which is usually blue now turns to yellow and greenish color.

While in the same area, but its location is somewhat far apart about 5000 meters of sea water is still normal with a clear blue color even though exposed to sunlight.

The incident suddenly shocked the residents and also some fishermen. So this news was so excited and so familiar that it invited Indonesian social media, one of which was TEMPO.CO, who participated in covering and writing chronologically of natural phenomena in the ocean.

One of the fishermen gave information that in the ocean there are many green lichens that do not know the origin of the lichens, moss that is very much washed into the sea and spread along with the accompaniment of waves that hit the moss so that the color of sea water changes color especially when exposed to sunlight.

Water conditions like this greatly affect fishermen who often catch fish in the sea because the moss changes the color of the water when exposed to the sun so the fish will automatically feel scared and he will look for other areas that are considered safe, so that fishermen not get maximum results as usual days on generally.

But the government has dispatched one of the teams to check the sea water which is green, but they have not found positive results.

However, an old fisherman said that when decades ago or when he was young, they had experienced the same thing. According to information the old fisherman himself said that, sea water turns green due to natural influences or changes in soil conditions caused by something.

Erratic climate change lately has caused erratic water masses to affect water movements because they are filled with green algae that appear above the water surface, moreover Indonesian sea conditions are tropical temperatures, and this is nothing new but this is one of the natural phenomena that has an impact on nature itself. And again algae or phytoplankton come to life, and because of unusual weather conditions due to bloming.

So the algae bloming event will not disappear immediately but it must be cleaned, because the algae will not die, but it will always die fam alive again at any time.

This case of algae blooming is very detrimental to fishermen because fish in the sea will become frightened when they see a large collection, and in the end they will find a safe place. Then this case has an impact on fishermen by not having their catch like ordinary days in general.

So the conclusion is that the color of sea water turns green when exposed to sunlight caused by the shifting of green algae into the sea and that often happened years ago.

It was a cursory incident that could make people panic. As a result of the influence of nature by green algae originating from the surface of the ground which is naturally uprooted by something. Thank you very much.
