Non-toxic red tide blooming in Saanich Inlet

25 Apr 2025
Saanich Inlet, British Columbia, Canada
A bloom of non-toxic Noctiluca algae is lining Saanich Inlet’s shoreline; safe for swimmers and shellfish consumption so far. Scientists say the bloom is not producing toxins yet, but could as the water gets warmer. “This one is a bit early!” said Galbraith.
