We are so sick of red tide that we found a bunch of videos explaining red tide and the algae bloom from Okeechobee for you. The council meeting about red tide was more of the same from the Prez of Mote Marine. That red tide is natural. 1st documented in the 1500’s. No correlation to Lake O run off. But who can you really believe anymore? Red tide is great for Mote Marine. They’ll get 3 million dollars to do more research. If it is a natural occurrence would artificially stopping it mess with the natural systems in place? Who knows. We just want it gone.
