Toxic algae blooms take toll on marine life:
MORRO BAY, Calif. - Experts said large algae blooms in California have poisoned hundreds of sick sea lions and dolphins because of a neurotoxin the blooms produce.
“The reports have been staggering. I mean, the facilities literally can’t even answer the phone and keep up with it when it was at its peak,” Viezbicke said. “So we’ll give subcutaneous fluids to help flush that toxin out of the animal system,” Meza said. “We’ll also give them medicine to help with reducing the seizures.”
“The reality is, is every one of these animals that’s got the poisoning from domoic acid has going to have long-term effects,” Viezbicke said. “You know, we know that domoic acid poisoning affects the hippocampus. It affects their long-term memory abilities. And so we’re really curious to see those animals that did make it out of rehab, how they do in the future. We’ve got flipper tags on them all. And so we’ll hopefully get some re-sights that will help inform us better for the future.
