Research explains the increase in sea sparkle blooms across Indian seas
The frequency of sea sparkle blooms, triggered by the organism Noctiluca scintillans, is growing in Indian coastal regions due to a drop in dissolved silicate concentrations. A recent study connects this trend to a decrease in silica carried by rivers, which is essential for sustaining diatoms and maintaining balanced marine food webs. These blooms have the potential to disturb local ecosystems, shift food chain dynamics, deplete oxygen, and promote the spread of bacteria.
