Algae are organisms that are photosynthetic, like plants, but lack the many distinct organs of land plants. Cyanobacteria are usually also included in this group. For many years SMHI has monitored the algae situation in the seas around Sweden. The algae studied are planktonic – microscopic plants …

The type of algae found in the Skagerrak and Kattegat are often visible from satellite. Sometimes there are harmless blooms of coccolithophorids whose calcite platelets reflect sunlight to colour the sea turquoise.

This summer's bloom in the Baltic Sea was restricted to the first three weeks of July and had little effect on the Swedish coast.

Nutrient levels in surface water were normal throughout the investigated area except in the Bornholm Basin where silicate was slightly lower. In the Baltic Proper oxygen concentrations below 2 ml/l were observed at depths exceeding 40 to 80 meters and at the bottom in the eastern part of Arkona …

Reports from SMHIs offshore sampling programme, which describe the algal situation in marine waters surrounding Sweden.

A more autumn like phytoplankton community with more dinoflagellates was observed in the Skagerrak. The same phenomenon was not observed in the Kattegat. Only a few species and few cells were found in the Skagerrak waters at the ordinary phytoplankton stations. This was evident from the quite low …
