			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve been in Baltimore City over the past day or so, you&#8217;ve probably noticed a pungent aroma of what seems to be a mix of trash, fish and death.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s to blame for the foulness? An algae bloom. The bloom caused the level of Oxygen in the water to drop and therefore killing at least 3,000 fish so far. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s possible that there could be more blooms and fish kills in other areas. Although the algae (<em>Prorocentrum minimum</em>) is non-toxic, it needs to be dealt with accordingly so if you happen to notice that something is amiss in water near you, please call 877-224-7229.</p>
