Qingdao’s Victoria Bay is serving up a unique summer vibe! After the tide receded on Wednesday, the nearshore breakwater was revealed to be covered in a thick, vibrant layer of green algae. Like nature’s own paint, this green coat transforms the coastal view into a live canvas. 🌿
As summer temperatures rise, the seawater now hits the optimal range for algae to flourish. While this ecological phenomenon is completely natural, visitors should be cautious. The algae make the rock surfaces slippery, especially during tide-pooling, so make sure your steps are careful! ⚠️
This green display serves as a reminder of nature’s dynamic artistry and the delicate balance of our coastal ecosystems. Embrace the beauty, explore responsibly, and enjoy the summer spectacle!
