Lyngyba Blooms in Roebuck Bay

Roebuck Bay has been experiencing worsening blooms of the cyanobacteria, Lyngbya majuscula. This is concerning because large Lyngbya blooms can suffocate the seagrass meadows that dugongs and green turtles rely on as their main food source. Juvenile fish, prawns and invertebrates that hide in the leafy meadows can be impacted too as can the migratory shorebirds who feed on them. Fish avoid Lyngbya blooms too, which can reduce the available catch.  This presentation helps us understand the risks, possible causes and management strategies. To learn more »
