Coastal marine ecosystems worldwide are increasingly affected by tide alterations and anthropogenic disturbances affecting the water quality and leading to frequent algal blooms. Increased bloom persistence is a serious threat due to the long-lasting impacts on ecological processes and services, such as carbon cycling and sequestration. The exploration of eco-environmental feedback and algal bloom patterns remains challenging and poorly investigated, mostly due to the paucity of data and lack of model-free approaches to infer universal bloom dynamics. Florida Bay, taken as an epitome for biodiversity and blooms, has long experienced algal blooms in its central and western regions, and, in 2006, an unprecedented bloom occurred in the eastern habitats rich in corals and vulnerable habitats.
