Red Algae is making a comeback. It has been since the middle of October when Omar came in with enough force to remove a lot of sand and redistribute the landscape in the shallows. It also removed the dark red layer of algae that had been building up for a few years. I am now seeing the return of this red algae on the sand and on the rubble and non-living remains of coral heads. It appears that living coral can keep this algae from attacking it, but it is building up around the living coral heads. Not only along the north coast is this algae coming back, but the sites that are down-wind from Plaza and Belnam on Klein Bonaire also are showing the return of the red algae.
