**Decreased oxygen in the water.**
Algae blooms, particularly those caused by harmful species, can lead to a significant reduction in oxygen levels in the water when the algae die and decompose. This process, called eutrophication, consumes a lot of oxygen, leading to hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions, which can be detrimental to marine life and overall ocean ecosystem health.
