What is the reason behind the sea turning red in Puducherry and what steps are being taken to analyze the cause

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has formed a panel to analyze the cause behind the sea turning red in Puducherry.
The exact reason behind the sea turning red in Puducherry is still under investigation. However, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has formed a panel to analyze the cause and take necessary action. Some possible reasons for the sea turning red could be:
  • Discharge of industrial waste or chemicals into the sea
  • Algal bloom caused by the imbalance of nutrients in the water
  • Elevated levels of iron oxide or other sediments
  • Pollution from nearby rivers or coastal erosion
The panel appointed by the NGT will conduct a thorough investigation to identify the exact cause. It will consider factors such as water quality, pollutants, and ecological balance. The panel will collect water samples, study the marine ecosystem, and analyze the data to determine the cause. Based on their findings, appropriate actions will be taken to mitigate the problem and prevent it from recurring in the future.
