What is a red tide?

Algae inhabiting the sea - When control of simple plant colonies and freshwater becomes uncontrollable, harmful algal breeding or HAB occurs, causing detrimental or harmful effects on humans, fish, crustaceans, marine mammals, and birds There is a possibility. Human diseases caused by HAB are rare, but they are even debilitating and even fatal.

Many people call these flowers "red tide", but scientists like the term "harmful algae flowering". One of the most famous HAB in the United States occurs almost every summer on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Like many HAB, this flower is caused by fine algae that produces toxins that kill fish and risk shellfish. Toxin may cause breathing difficulties in the surrounding air. As its name suggests, algae flowers often turn red water

According to reports, all US coastal states have HAB and its incidence may increase. HAB not only affects the health of human and ocean ecosystems, it also affects the "health" of regional and regional economies, so it is a public concern.

However, not all algae are harmful. In fact, most flowers are beneficial because small plants are food of marine animals. In fact, they are the main source of energy for the marine food network.

However, a small proportion of algae produce potent toxins, kill fish, shellfish, mammals, birds and can directly or indirectly cause disease in humans. HAB also includes growth of nontoxic species harmful to marine ecosystems. For example, when a large amount of algae die and decomposes, oxygen in the water is depleted due to the disintegration process, the water becomes hypoxic, and the animal leaves that area or dies.

Scientists at the State Oceanic Bureau have overseen and studied this phenomenon for many years to determine how to detect and predict the location of flowers. The goal is to provide early warning to the community so that you can properly plan and respond to these "red tide" incidents related to the environment and health.

Phytoplankton and algae breed from nitrogen, so called "red tide" or "brown tide" flourish in high nitrogen concentration areas. Brown tides are caused by the rapid growth of billions of algae, which depletes oxygen in water and causes poisons to accumulate in all lives that consume it, including fish and birds. However, water pollution alone was not over. Millions of tons of garbage are dumped into the sea every year. Since garbage is mainly made of plastic, it is basically insoluble. The garbage collects in the vortex of the sea. Marine organisms, including sea turtles, may be misleading or misleading due to any unfortunate animal intake, if it is merely a floating plastic bag or other toxic plastic, it eats food It is considered to be. Contamination is the greatest threat to all aquatic life organisms and is the main cause of loss of biodiversity.

Red tide is a phenomenon that affects water by dyeing water red and kills marine organisms by increasing carbon dioxide in the water. Therefore, in this article, we will explain the red tide issue and its impact on Marine Corps and human life. In addition, we will consider several ways to mitigate the impact. Then pay attention to the red tide phenomenon on the coast of the United Arab Emirates and the response of the United Arab Emirates government. There are many creatures in the marine ecosystem and there are many problems that may affect the oceans and marine life. One problem is the red tide caused by fine algae. Algal breeding can occur in freshwater and marine environments. Generally, red tide occurs all over the world and it can be said that it affects marine ecosystems in many places such as Scandinavia, Japan, Caribbean Sea, Florida, South Pacific and so on.

Florida red tides that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico came from algae called Karenia brevis. This red tide often occurs in the Gulf over many years. However, as pollution in that area increases, the red tide of the area will bloom, unprecedented overgrowth will occur. Human facilities like factories, waste disposal plants, fertilizers, etc. cause harmful breeding of this naturally occurring seaweed. Bioluminescence trips have been held in Florida and around the world over the past two decades. In recent years, Florida is known for its bioluminescence near Titusville and Coco Beach in the Indian river lagoon. It is attractive to see water turning to pale blue. Since not all bioluminescence is harmful, there is no reason to avoid this amazing phenomenon. Bioluminescence is actually the natural defense mechanism of many marine organisms, including phytoplankton, squid, shrimp and some fish.
