Scientists want to know the long-term effects of red tide on turtles and their hatchlings.
They are collecting data and hope to be able to report back by year’s end on what the toxins from the algal blooms did to the population of sea turtles that nest in Southwest Florida shores.
The massive red tide bloom in 2018 resulted in the “largest number of sea turtle deaths ever attributed to a single red tide event,” said Kelly Sloan, director of Coastal Wildlife and Sea Turtle Program Coordinator at the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation.
By MELANIE D.G. KAPLAN | Special to The Washington Post | Published: January 21, 2021 On my first night camping in Western Maryland two weeks ago, the mercury dipped into the 30s, and I had naively optimistic hopes for the 20-degree sleeping bag I d borrowed: Inexplicably, I decided not to wear socks. All night, I tried to warm my toes. My fingers were toasty, conveniently tucked under my arms, siphoning core heat from my body. But restricted in a narrow bag, I couldn t curl into a warmer fetal position - or any position favorable to toe survival. I tried them all. I expended an embarrassing amount of energy flopping and tossing, futilely trying to heat my distant digits and certain I would look down in the morning to find 10 little specimens of frostbite. Despite my discomfort, I imagined that getting out of the bag to find socks would be a far graver exploit.
