Plankton Red Tides

Phytoplankton are a microorganism that are able to produce an algal bloom called the Red Tide. Red Tides rapidly grow in water, which are algal blooms that display a red or brown color. This problem is caused by unclean water, which directly affects its ecosystem. Red Tides can cause oxygen depletion in the water and can harm animals that depend on that certain water system for nutrients.
