Summary

Nutrition label

84% Informative

Researchers at the University of South Florida led a new study that is the first to identify viruses associated with the organism, karenia brevis, that causes red tide.

Red tide blooms are a naturally occurring event driven by various factors such as ocean circulation, nutrient concentration, and climate change.

The findings of this study could not only help predict bloom cycles but perhaps even provide environmentally-friendly ways to manage the blooms.
