Red Tide - Scientists from the Florida Wildlife Research Institute, in St. Petersburg, and Mote Marine Lab, in Sarasota, are searching for the origins of red tide on Florida's west coast. The harmful algal bloom produces a toxin that can kill fish and marine mammals, like manatees. It also affects humans by causing respiratory irritation. Mote Marine Lab has been monitoring volunteers to determine the changes that red tide causes in lung capacity and air flow, particularly in people who have asthma. Newly developed automatic underwater vehicles may provide early detection of a red tide bloom.
