2022 PHYTOPLANKTON BLOOMS AND RED TIDES
Floating, plant-like organisms reproduce abundantly when there are sufficient nutrients, sunlight, and water conditions. Extreme blooms of certain species can become harmful to marine animals and humans.

2022 CYCLONES IN THE INDIAN OCEAN
Though storms in the basin rarely reach the same strength as those in the Atlantic or Pacific, they often hit populations that are more exposed and vulnerable to storm damage.
