    Excerpt
    Ashes spewed by Bulusan and Mayon volcanoes have been found to be preventing the recurrence of algae that cause red tide in Sorsogon Bay, a marine scientist based in the Bicol University (BU) here said yesterday. “Blooms of microalgae after a volcanic eruption have been documented worldwide. In Sorsogon Bay, the frequent eruption of Mt. Bulusan, whose major river systems deliver volcanic materials to the Casiguran-Juban side of the bay, may be preventing the harmful algal bloom (HAB) that produces the red tide toxin,” Dioneda told The STAR.
