Brown tide threatens marine life off Long Island
The so-called brown tide off the south shore of Long Island threatens marine life.
Dr. Chris Gobler is a marine scientist at Stony Brook University. He has traced brown tides on Long Island back to the mid-1980s. The organism is what caused the downfall of the bay scallops in the Peconic Estuary.
And now the damaging tide is threatening seagrass and hard clams in the Great South Bay. Gobler said readings since mid-June have shown concentrations as high as half a million cells per milliliter; anything above 35,000 cells per milliliter is harmful.
