Robert Besser 7th September 2022, 02:04 GMT+10SAN FRANCISCO, California: Dead fish, including striped bass, bat rays and other species, have been washing up on the shores of the San Francisco Bay Area after toxic algae spread across the area. Environmental advocacy organization San Francisco Baykeeper said the toxic algae first appeared in July and has spread north as far as San Pablo Bay, and south to the coastlines of San Mateo County. The culprit behind the murky brown waters is a species of algae called Heterosigma akashiwo, it added.
