3 years ago, a massive algae bloom in Florida killed 2,000 tons of marine life. It s threatening again By: CNN
By Arthur Brice, CNN (CNN) It s not just tourists who invade Florida in the summer.
The colorfully named, obnoxious and sometimes deadly microorganisms known as red tide and blue green algae also take advantage of the change in temperature to proliferate. And it causes major problems.
Both types of algae bloom are starting to make their presence known along some of southwestern Florida s most beautiful shorelines. Whether they re moving in for the summer or just teasing remains to be seen.
Florida algae blooms: 3 years ago, a massive algae bloom in Florida killed 2,000 tons of marine life. It s threatening again CNN 1 hr ago By Arthur Brice, CNN © Courtesy BriceWorks Blue green algae, which are toxic, have been blooming the past few weeks in the waters around Tampa Bay.
It s not just tourists who invade Florida in the summer.
The colorfully named, obnoxious and sometimes deadly microorganisms known as red tide and blue green algae also take advantage of the change in temperature to proliferate. And it causes major problems.
Both types of algae bloom are starting to make their presence known along some of southwestern Florida s most beautiful shorelines. Whether they re moving in for the summer or just teasing remains to be seen.
For now, though, all seems well. The fishermen of Cortez are keeping their eyes on local water conditions, Bell said. So far, they have seen some algal blooms, but not too much beyond that. The winds have kept them off the water this week. They re hoping the turbulence created by the weather will help break up any static water where algae growth would thrive.
Charter boat captain Rios said he hasn t come across any red tide either.
Red tide is not a new phenomenon
The Florida Department of Health notes that red tides were documented in the southern Gulf of Mexico in the 1700s and along Florida s Gulf Coast since the 1840s. But the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says Karenia brevis, the microorganism responsible for red tide, was not identified until 1946.
