If you've noticed the waters off the shores of southern B.C. There is a massive algae bloom in the Strait of Georgia, extending into Howe Sound, that's left the colour of the water looking more emerald than usual. Waters off the southern tip of Vancouver Island, in Desolation Sound and around the Malaspina Inlet have also been affected. NASA satellite imagery captured the glowing green, algae-filled waters around southern B.C. It's mixed with what she believes are diatoms in the water — another group of algae — and together, it's made the water appear green.
