Pau Pau Algae

While attending the marine biology lab last saturday at Pau Pau beach we were able to witness the drainage. The drainage is where runoff water flows along with dirt, chemicals, and other things that are threating to the ocean. Then we went further down and reached the sea shore. There we were able to see the great amount of algae that resides on the rocks. These rocks are in the water where creature such as fish, corals, and other important organisms of the marine life live. Algae is very dangerous especially when it is already residing on the rocks because then corlas would not be able to grow on it. These are the effects of algae: Corlas die if algae covers it up, marine life are threatened, and if algae is grown on the rocks first then corals will not be able to reside there.
