The Florida red tide is a naturally occurring phenomenon that continues to challenge researchers
seeking clues to its origin and cause. It has been documented along Florida's Gulf Coast since
the 1840s and probably occurred much earlier.

This brochure discusses Florida red tide and includes information on the dinoflagellate that
causes red tide blooms, how red tides affect marine life and people, and a discussion on whether
humans should seek to eliminate red tide.
