Captain Planet will fix this mess and turn all the beach-goers into trees.

Is that the actor Don Cheadle playing Cpt. Planet?

Somebody in Australia should go there after the sun sets. They should also see dinoflagelates that "sparkle" in the water when waves crash or when you throw a rock in the water. Pretty sight......don't eat the fish or sealife from that area for a long while.

I wouldn't say the water in either of those pictures looks exactly "blood red". The top pic looks more like strawberry jello red or cherry kool-aid red. Bottom pic looks like Campbell's tomato soup, which is like a dull, watered down red, kinda verging on pink-ish.

It's red and blood is red.
It's close to you avatar which is Santa - ish

Dang, this is crazy!!!

Red? Surely it is Algae... and if its not, what is it caused from??

Hello! Great find and great thread. I'll just come in and add my two cents.

I'm not suggesting this is the case, but could't this be Photoshop work? I made a quick change in one of the pictures (it took me about 30 seconds) just to set as an example of how easy it is to change the colors in a picture. Also, the woman with the baby, they don't look frightened or curious in any way. In fact, they're looking at the water and the sea just as if they were tourists watching the sunset. Isn't it weird? And let's not forget that this photo was taken from over the water by someone. Who would step on a small boat and sail through a sea of red water? Lastly, why isn't this covered by the MSM anywhere?

See the image I changed below:

I wonder what's causing all these algal blooms ? Particularly these harmful phytoplankton ones that appear red/brown in colour. The green or yellow aren't harmful, but these red ones are.

So what gives ?

As far as I am aware, Algae blooms like these are generally caused by chemical imbalance in the water.
I would not be at all surprised if it were tracked backed to dumped waste or an effluent outlet close-by.

I hope someone does and takes photos.
I only saw that once years ago on a Gold Coast beach, it was amazing.

We used to say that when you swim at Bondi you swim with turd because of all the untreated effluent they (used to ?) pump out just off shore, yuck. Perhaps it's changed now......?

Darwin award candidate 2012?

Maybe underwater nuke test, or secret navy sonar testing. Or the beginning of the end.
