The Environment Public Authority (EPA) has been monitoring the appearance of the red tide stretching from Al-Salam beach, in Kuwait Bay, all the way to AlSulaibikhat Bay, amid some floating dead fish.
EPA said in a statement, on Wednesday, that a team of the authority scooped up some samples and examined them at the laboratory. The examination revealed that the samples contained some Myrionecta Rubra algae at a rate of 150300 per liter.
A survey of the mentioned region showed alteration of the watercolor namely close to the rain drain sewers, adding that “human coastal activities” have negatively impacted the quality of the seawater causing the red tide and fish death. EPA will survey other locations off the coast in the coming days.
