red in the water?

Whilst browsing Google maps for potential fishing spots I noticed a strange red colour in the sea on the southern side of the lambs head peninsula at these coordinates 51.592008,-10.144589 wishful thinking of shark attack or maybe just a blip? Seen similar before off California

Probably an algae bloom. Common in the US coastal waters. Saw it in Florida several years ago, killed masses of fish.

might work better; it is very red looking and very localised:

Hmmmm not algae bloom. Can't see a boat. Dead whale or dolphin underwater maybe?

would it show up that red in the water though? i'd have thought blood in water might look darker. could be a camera glitch?

Yea I watched a programme about sharks recently and they used aircraft to locate the sharks by spotting such scarlet colour in the sea

Too regular for me. Looks like a camera glitch

Hot pixels are individual pixels which look much brighter than they should. They are also called sparkles. Most cameras have a few of these at higher ISOs. It's normal. They come and go over time.
