Poisonous algae bloom sparks ban on shellfish harvesting near Victoria

Summary by Ground News
The harvesting of butter calms, mussels, pink scallops, oysters and all bivalve shellfish has been prohibited across multiple areas of Greater Victoria's coast. The ban has been placed due to red tide paralytic shellfish poison (PSP) algal blooms appearing in the water. The PSP is not harmful to humans through skin contact, but if consumed by a person the side effects could be fatal.
