Define Algal Bloom.

An algal bloom, also known as an algae bloom, is a fast rise or aggregation of algae in freshwater or marine water systems, which is commonly characterised by water discoloration of their colours. Algae refers to a wide range of aquatic photosynthetic creatures, including large, multicellular animals like seaweed and microscopic, single-celled organisms like cyanobacteria. A macroscopic blooming algal is an example of a kelp forest.
