What is a red tide?

According to Carleton College it is a phenomenon caused by algal blooms. They become so much that they discolour the water in the ocean. It depletes oxygen in the water and/or release bad toxins that can cause illness in animals and humans. So rather stay away from the ocean when you hear about it or see it. It could take a couple of days before it is safe to go in to the ocean or fish again.
