Bondi Beach is a popular tourists destination around Sydney Australia, but the area had to be closed after a huge algal bloom took over some of the area’s waters.Local lifeguard Bruce Hopkins told The Australian the water has a fishy smell to it and the algae color makes the water look like it has a coating of tomato-sauce.
The New South Wales (NSW) Office of Water carried out a series of tests to determine what caused the bloom. Some believe that the algae-stained water was caused by an upwelling of colder, nutrient-rich water.

A NSW spokesman said the blooms are more common around spring and autumn when the water temperature is higher and there are greater movements in ocean currents.A local council spokesman said in a statement red algae could be dangerous to some humans. Reports also claim a large number of fish have died from the phenomenon.
