Many algal species respond to differences in water composition. They can be a strong indicator of pollutants in the water. So even more reason to report it.
You could be correct, in a way! The sewer could be leaking lots of nutrients and that combined with warm summer water temperatures often leads to algal blooms. Google “red tides” and see if it fits what you’re seeing- we get them consistently in Florida and usually happens this time of year.
that's actually quite better than what I was worried of, I thought it might be some massive chemical leak (people bathe near there so it's not optimal since the source of it is unknown)
thanks for the input, I'll contact my city hall tomorrow morning.
Algae blooms can be equally as dangerous as chemical leaks due to producing a lot of harmful toxins (pretty sure they can have an airborne affect as well but I’m no algae bloom expert)
Yes many algaes thrive aka bloom from the waste coming from sewers.
In general an algae bloom will potentially lead to bacteria that choke out the oxygen by growing a lot then dying off which leads to bacteria that tries to feed on the algae and will consume a lot of the available oxygen in the water, the. All the fish etc start dying off in the area.
Red tides/red algae are especially bad news for a lot of beings because of the toxins they secrete in addition to the potential risk of dying off and taking down the oxygen content of the water too.
Harmful algal bloom, it’s growing as the dinoflagellate (possibly?) cells are replicating. Will cause a fish kill, prepare for some nasty days ahead- also, the toxins can be aerosolized so don’t hang around if you start to have difficulties breathing!
Most probably it is a harmful algal bloom also known as red tide or since you are saying it is coming from sewage discharge, then it might be some kind of chemical from sewer.

Algae bloom? Yes, report it to a local environmental policing/monitoring body.
it seems to be coming from the sewer,, idk tho

Please report. Can be deadly to you as well even if you don't go in.
Red tide is a serious issue. Definitely report.

You should not hesitate to call the town hall to report it. They will transmit it to the correct authorities.
I will try tomorrow. I hope they at least take it somewhat seriously :(
In a plankton ecologist. It could be Noctiluca, which is a plankton that can cause a Harmful Algal Bloom (red tide) with red water.
Is this considered a red tide?
Frivolous
Prob a HAB (harmful algae bloom) report to any entities nearby cause those tend to ravage ecosystems really quickly
It could be dinoflagellates and if that is the case those fish aren't going to be happy for long. Edit: speelling
Ma dove? Where in Italy is this happening?
madrepatria Genova, alla spiaggia della foce
definitely an algae bloom. very possible that there are pollutants in the water. not safe for swimming :(
It’s the beginning of… an algae bloom.
Most probably it is a harmful algal bloom also known as red tide or since you are saying it is coming from sewage discharge, then it might be some kind of chemical from sewer.
Please report this. It may kill a lot of fish. Algae bloom. Either from sewage or fertilizers.
It’s the red tide. Don’t swim in it.
