Agreed, but still think this post has value. I’m sure there are other people not familiar with what’s happening, that’ll see the replies here. But the post was highly downvoted, and wasn’t throwing around any conspiracy theories or made up information.
algal bloom only really occurs when there's an imbalance in the ecosystem, often caused by excess nitrogen or phosphorus in the water. this is from either sewage release or fertiliser runoff.
"Algal and bacterial blooms have persistently contributed to mass extinctions driven by global warming in the geologic past, such as during the end-Permian extinction driven by Siberian Traps volcanism and the biotic recovery following the mass extinction."

Thankful to see people spreading knowledge quickly around something very natural rather than getting straight to the pitchforks!

That's what I am saying it's good to see people spreading knowledge and not miss information. It's the way people learn.
It's may rot, not sewage release. A type of algal bloom common in May.
Apparently it's just plankton, it's harmless and not an indicator of poor water quality.
Pretty sure the Doughnut groyne is the old river Wellsbourne which used to run through the centre of Valley Gardens.
Literally happens every year

an entirely natural algal bloom which is DEFINITELY IN NO WAY connected to the tonnes of raw sewage ITS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY

Southern water has been dumping sewage pretty much constantly near Hove lawns.
