The causes of the red tide (harmful algae blooms) last year in the UAE is still being investigated. Scientists brought in from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Donald Anderson a well known expert in algae blooms has been assisting the UAE with this issue.

Several types of marine phytoplankton (microscopic plantlike cells) can cause the red tide phenomenon. It leaves a red cast on the waters. The cells produce chemical toxins which can contaminate the fish and kill them. It can also cause respiratory problems for humans if close to the shore. Some researchers say this maybe a natural occurrence, some put it down to man-made chemical pollutions and some even say the weather plays a role.

Signs of Red Tide:

*Water colour changes

*Dead fish

*Breathing difficulties and allergies occurring near the shore.
