Bondi Beach Turns Blood Red 2012 – Video

Bondi Beach Turns Blood Red 2012
Tourists heading for world-famous Bondi Beach were left high and dry today after a rare natural phenomenon turned the water blood red. Bondi was among several popular beaches in and around Sydney, Australia, which had to be closed after a huge algae bloom transformed the sea into something resembling a scene from a Jaws movie. But despite the warnings a number of intrepid beachgoers were seen venturing into the water and swimming through the red surface. The natural phenomenon is caused when algae, a plant-like organism flourishes and large groups of the miniscule plants, which can appear in various colours, gather together often with spectacular results.From:ADGUKNEWSViews:1 0ratingsTime:00:44More inPeople Blogs

Whale head closes Sydney beaches

Posted on by

A decomposing whale head that sparked reports of shark sightings and shut down two northern Sydney beaches has been removed.

Whale and Palm beaches were shut on Monday morning after the whale head was reported to Pittwater Council.

A council spokeswoman said a couple of sharks had been spotted feeding on the carcass on the rocks at the southern end of Whale Beach.

'According to the resident who reported the incident, he thought they could have been great whites,' she told AAP on Tuesday.

'But we are not so sure.'

She said the head appeared to have been at sea for quite some time before it washed up.

'Which would explain why it was missing a body and why it was quite pungent.'

Council had hoped the head would wash out to sea at high tide on Monday night, but instead it had to be removed and taken to Lucas Heights Waste Management Centre on Tuesday morning.

The operation cost about $5000, the spokeswoman said.

However, it was not 'as major' as the clean-up a of 20-tonne sperm whale carcass that washed up on Newport Beach in April.

SEVERAL popular Sydney beaches, including the iconic Bondi, resembled scenes out of a apocalyptic film today after an algae bloom turned the water blood red.

Patches of the red algae, a natural phenomenon that can be exacerbated by certain weather conditions, were sighted between Bondi Beach and Maroubra Beach this morning.

Both Bondi Beach and Clovelly Beach were closed while authorities conduct tests in the water.

Gordon's Bay was also closed due to the algal bloom, with Beachwatch posting a photograph on Twitter showing water the colour of tomato juice.

Waverley head lifeguard Bruce Hopkins said the bloom was spotted drifting off the north side of Bondi Beach at around 6.30am.

"It has got quite a fishy smell to it,'' Mr Hopkins told AAP.

"It can irritate some people's skin but generally not much more than that.''

The bloom was dissipating off Bondi, with hopes the beach might be reopened by this afternoon, he said.

'Red tide' hits northern beaches prompting closures

A new outbreak of 'red tide' algae caused the closure of a further 10 Sydney beaches on Wednesday afternoon.

Pittwater council ordered the closure of Palm Beach, Whale Beach, North Avalon Beach, Avalon Beach, Bilgola Beach, Bungan Beach, Newport Beach, Mona Vale Beach, Warriewood Beach and Turimetta Beach about 3pm.

The northern beaches closures come after Bondi and Clovelly Beaches were closed on Tuesday due to red algae, known as Noctiluca scintillans or sea sparkle, which can cause rashes and irritations to the skin and eyes.

Bondi reopened on Tuesday afternoon while Clovelly remained closed on Wednesday.

A spokeswoman for Randwick Council said the algae had dissipated throughout Wednesday afternoon, and expected Clovelly to reopen on Thursday morning.

"The lifeguards are closely monitoring the situation," the spokeswoman said.

The algae on the northern beaches was not the same as that from the eastern suburbs, but a separate bloom of the same type, experts said.

Palm Beach and Whale Beach were already closed due to fears a dead whale would attract sharks.

EPA strengthens water quality guidelines for beaches

Posted on by

WASHINGTON The Environmental Protection Agency updated water quality guidelines for the nation's beaches Monday, moving in response to charges that the federal government has not done enough to protect bathers from polluted water.

The new guidelines, which update standards issued in 1986, may not immediately mean safer beaches and coastal waters. States have the authority to set their own water quality standards.

But federal environmental officials said they hoped the suggested guidance would prompt state leaders to toughen their own oversight of recreational waters where people swim, surf and go boating. California is among the states that may tighten standards.

One set of new guidelines parallels recommendations issued 26 years ago for acceptable concentrations of Enterococci and E. coli bacteria, which can cause serious illnesses if ingested.

The EPA also issued a second set of standards with lower recommended thresholds for both bacteria.

The tougher guidelines are expected to keep illnesses down to 32 per 1,000 people, compared with 36 illnesses for the lower standard, the agency said.

The EPA also recommended a more aggressive testing schedule to monitor water quality at beaches.

Ellen Gilinsky, senior policy advisor in the EPA Office of Water, said the agency made the move after reviewing new research on water quality.

"We felt it was appropriate to strengthen our recommendations," she said.

The decision to issue two sets of guidelines drew a mixed response from the Natural Resources Defense Council, which was among a group of organizations that sued in federal court in California to force the EPA to update its water quality standards.

Red tide strikes 10 more beaches

Sydney's beaches appeared to change colour again last night, as an algal bloom continued to wash up on our shores

A FRESH outbreak of red tide has forced the closure of 10 Sydney beaches today.

Pittwater Council ordered all beaches between Palm Beach and North Narrabeen closed just before 3pm because of the algae.

"It appears to be the same style of red tide as that which caused the closures of the eastern suburbs beaches on Tuesday," a Pittwater Council spokeswoman said.

The northern beaches closed were Palm Beach, Whale Beach, North Avalon and Avalon Beaches, Bilgola Beach, Bungan Beach, Newport Beach, Mona Vale Beach, Warriewood Beach and Turimetta Beach.

While other eastern suburbs beaches were open yesterday, Clovelly Beach remained closed because of the algae.

Experts said the red tide on the northern beaches was not the same algae which had closed eastern suburbs beaches moving north, but instead a separate congregation also pushed ashore by winds and ocean currents.

A thick algal bloom known as noctiluca scintillans - commonly called "red tide" or "fire in the sea" - capable of causing skin rashes and eye irritations, began washing up on the eastern beaches early yesterday morning.

Surfers first spotted the algae just after dawn at Bondi, with the number of sightings spreading throughout the morning - stretching from Wamberal on the Central Coast to Cronulla Beach in the city's south.

Bondi and Clovelly beaches were the first to close as a safety precaution as clouds of the algae, which contains high levels of ammonia, began washing ashore.

Beaches back after Grand Canyon floods

Posted on by

Sandy beaches have reappeared more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) downstream of Glen Canyon Dam, an early measure of success for a massive flood last week designed to rebuild habitat along the Colorado River in the iconic Grand Canyon.

However, it will be weeks before scientists know whether the six days of high flows realized the Department of the Interior's goals of moving more than 500,000 metric tons of sediment down the canyon.

"Surely there are new white sandbars in a lot of places, but what we have learned from doing this in the past is that the devil is in the details," said Jack Schmidt, chief of the U.S. Geological Survey's Grand Canyon Monitoring Center. Test floods in 1996, 2004 and 2008 had some unintended consequences, such as increasing the population of predatory non-native trout.

Initial tests The department ordered the flood, released in a gush from the Glen Canyon Dam starting Nov. 19, to help create beaches and back eddies for campers, rafters and native fish. Since the dam was built in 1966, the only sediment sources for the Grand Canyon are the naturally flowing Little Colorado and Paria rivers, which feed into the Colorado River below the dam. A popular tourist destination, the canyon's beaches and wildlife depend on sand and mud carried by the Colorado River.

USGS researchers spent the Thanksgiving holiday camped along the river monitoring the flood, Schmidt said. Their samples will help determine if the floodwaters actually moved suspended sediment downriver, among other tests, he said.

A group from the National Park Service and the USGS left Monday to float downriver and download before-and-after images from cameras mounted in the canyon and collect additional samples. A preliminary report on the flood's aftermath will be presented at a stakeholders meeting in January 2013. [Related: The Grand Canyon in Pictures ]

"Now starts the hard work of figuring out and understanding the nature of the process that went on during the flood and the environmental impact of the flood," Schmidt told OurAmazingPlanet.

First new beaches National Park staff at Phantom Ranch, a Colorado River crossing with cabins and a campground more than 100 miles (160 km) downstream of the dam, reported new sand at two nearby beaches, said Jan Balsom, deputy chief of science and resource management for Grand Canyon National Park. Roy's Beach, on river right just upstream of Phantom Ranch, has sand for the first time in a number of years, she said. Cremation Camp, a rafter camp upstream on river left, also has new beach sand.

Genetic testing confirms the legendary Bigfoot is a human relative that arose some 15,000 years ago at least according to a press release issued by a company called DNA Diagnostics detailing supposed work by a Texas veterinarian.
