Tropical Green Tide Cronicles
Image description:
The photo captures the extensive overgrowth of filamentous green algae along the shores of Boracay Island, Philippines, a well-known tourist destination. Once celebrated for its pristine white beaches, the coastline now shows visible algal blooms linked to nutrient enrichment and increasing human pressure. The green tide forms dense mats along the shoreline, altering its visual appeal. This scene highlights the growing tension between tourism-driven development and coastal ecosystem health.

I always loved tropical and pristine white beaches. The blue sky and green tides are together a juxtaposing beauty. I would love to see this gem in museums and in print!
