Algae, seaweed? They are different things, right?

Seaweed means types of algae that grow big and multicellular. In this case brown algae, though they also evolved separately among the red and green algae.
Normally when you talk about blooms it’s the microscopic unicellular ones, in this case dinoflagellate algae, a couple of which produce nasty toxins.
