OREANDA-NEWS The largest accumulation of algae in the Atlantic Ocean in the history of observations threatens the life of marine inhabitants. 

According to satellite data, the length of the array is nine thousand kilometers, and its weight is about 20 million tons. 

According to scientists, algae are an integral part of the marine ecosystem that saturate the water with oxygen and nutrients necessary to sustain life. 

However, a large number of plants can block sunlight. This situation is very dangerous for coral reefs. In addition, the algae ejected by the tides on the beaches are detrimental to the tourist industry.
