The sea at one of the favorite Serbian resorts on the Black Sea has turned an unusual green color, sparking panic among tourists who posted dozens of videos on social media. Sveti Vlas, the Northern Beach, and Sunny Hill are the spots where algae started blooming much earlier than usual — at the beginning of July instead of late July or August. Lifeguard Petar Rusev explained that waves throw these green algae onto the shore, and this is a natural process that poses no danger to swimmers. However, if the algae are not removed within one day, the concessionaire is obliged to clean the beach. This phenomenon has caused concern among tourists, but experts assure that the sea is currently safe for swimming. Still, the question remains — is this just a natural phenomenon or a sign that something serious is happening to the Black Sea ecosystem? While tourists wonder if their vacation will be ruined, authorities continue to monitor the situation.
