The sea is turning red! Researchers make breakthrough discovery that could help forecast dangerous algae blooms

Red tides can lead to millions of dollars in losses, kill animals and be harmful to human health



Researchers have identified nearly a dozen viruses associated with harmful red tide algae blooms off the coast of Florida. This discovery could help forecast these blooms, which cause significant ecological and economic damage. The research, using viral metagenomics, identified viruses potentially specific to the Karenia brevis organism that causes red tide. Understanding these viruses may help predict and manage future red tide events.
