    1. Additionally, critics argue that the sugar industry's influence on water management policies allows for practices that can increase nutrient pollution, further contributing to red tide problems

    2. water flowed naturally from Orlando southward along the Kissimmee River watershed, around the shallow lake and in a wide swath southwest to Florida Bay. Along the way, wetland plants naturally filtered out pollutants before the water reached the Gulf. Then, in 1948, the Corps of Engineers created the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA), an elaborate drainage system of pumps and canals crisscrossing a 700,000-acre area of rich muck for agriculture.

    3. According to FWC just saltwater fishing is worth 9.2 billion dollars alone which shouldn't come as a surprise from a place called the fishing capitol of the world.
    1. “These community shifts and species specific declines appear to be associated with the red tide event"

      Flaherty, Kerry E., and Jan H. Landsberg. “Effects of a Persistent Red Tide (Karenia Brevis) Bloom on Community Structure and Species-Specific Relative Abundance of Nekton in a Gulf of Mexico Estuary.” Estuaries and Coasts 34, no. 2 (October 29, 2010): 417–39. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12237-010-9350-x

Landsberg. “Effects of a Persistent Red Tide (Karenia Brevis) Bloom on Community Structure and Species-Specific Relative Abundance of Nekton in a Gulf of Mexico Estuary.” Estuaries and Coasts 34, no. 2 (October 29, 2010): 417–39. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12237-010-9350-x

    3. When the contaminated water comes into contact with the air, the toxins can spread through the air affecting people in the coastal areas, usually in some respiratory way. Another big way that the toxins and organisms can spread is through food, espically shellfish.

    4. The science behind Red Tide and how it actually caused comes from “Karenia brevis (K brevis), which is a dinoflagellate that periodically blooms. When it blooms, it releases potent neurotoxin, brevetoxin, into the surrounding waters and air along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico"
