SINGAPORE, Jan 15 — The unusual sight of a canal turning pink at Sentosa Cove in recent days, after scores of dead fishes appeared there, was likely caused by algae bloom, marine experts said yesterday.
This is a natural phenomenon where algae grow rapidly out of control, which show up in many different colours such as green, brown, red or pink.
Water samples are still being tested by Sentosa Development Corporation and the authorities, after residents reported dozens of dead fishes and foul smells in a canal of the residential enclave’s South Cove last week.
