- "Environmental experts have closed a stretch of beach near the northern Italian city of Genoa after toxic algae poisoned dozens of bathers, an official said on Tuesday. Around 80 people needed hospital attention on Sunday and Monday because of the microscopic algae, identified as Ostreopsis ovata, which is usually found in the tropics." - excerpt from the article at http://www.planetark.com/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/31719/story.htm
