Abstract

Climate change has significantly influenced the frequency and intensity of toxic algal blooms (TABs) in aquatic ecosystems. Rising global temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increased nutrient runoff have created favorable conditions for the proliferation of harmful algal species. This study examines the ecological disruptions caused by TABs, their effects on aquatic biodiversity, and the health risks posed to humans and wildlife. The findings highlight the urgent need for effective monitoring and mitigation strategies to manage the growing threat of toxic algal blooms.
