What is red tide?

What is a red tide and why is it bad to go clam digging when there is this type of tide?

  • Answer:

    Many algal species form blooms, commonly referred to as red tides, each with different impacts. Most of these blooms are harmless, but a few species of phytoplankton cause red tides that are poisonous to marine animals and to humans.
