Satellite ocean colour maps warn abalone farmers of harmful algae
Abalone farmers along South Africa’s coast are now using ocean colour maps to track marine algal blooms that could harm their export molluscs. Scientists from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) developed ocean colour and temperature data from satellites that is easy to access as an online tool. The work forms part of the country’s ocean economy plan to boost aquaculture jobs.
