Also, there's a bunch of ways to make Algae blooms in the ocean. Apparently even just dumping a bunch of iron dust in the ocean would cause lots of algae blooms - but we don't do it.

Yes, because algae blooms are usually bad for everything but algae. Red tide is a bad thing.

And bad for everything but the algea is bad for the ecosystem the algea relies on to live
