What is Florida's red tide, and where does it come from?

- Red tide is nothing new to Florida. The Karenia brevis algae species can be harmful and even deadly to marine life, sending dead fish washing up on beaches and even posing a health threat to humans.
It is a separate organism from the cyanobacteria and lyngbya that affect other areas of the state, but can be fed by the same sort of pollutants and runoff. Here's what you need to know.

Can we just stop dumping wastewater in the ocean? We have treatment plants for a reason. Build more of them!
but but but but ObaMA!
Thanks Republicans for turning Florida into a dump
You can't get rich saving the world
The shitty people of the world control the world and they don't care if people are getting sick,going crazy, or dying as long as it isn't their people
@@andrewrollins4898 true indeed.
The ocean is a home, habitat, source of food and income we should treat it better with respect than making it a damping place 4 our trash.
Army Corps of Engineers, what a JOKE!! They've known about this problem for over 20 years and they have done NOTHING!!
“Can we do anything about it “ oh honey…. The ignorance 😩🥴
She's told to ask that you ignorant little.... rascal
Oh, it's not ignorance. It's non-accountability and recklessness.
Your Exactly right "What can us humans do" there is alot we could have done to prevent this!!
She wanted him to know she knew what macro meant and it made me uncomfortable
Florida shows pictures of crystal clear water and when you get here it’s a cesspool sewer
All about where you go my man, half the state is gator swamps. But there are tons of places you can go that have crystal clear water and even underwater caves.
@@dirtysanchez3574 uuuuh yeah I arrived back in Florida recently and the beaches are real shitty near the keys due to the dumping and the red tide is everywhere
@@boxman7044 i don't mean the beaches. I meant places in state, there are some hidden paradises here. But i agree, there are many shithole cesspools too
@@dirtysanchez3574 Seemed a lot better when I grew up here but nowadays
Mainly on the west coast thank goodness
Red Tide sounds so much nicer than the truth of us humans polluting everything.
Nicely stated
@@svend.3448 Piney point
Yes, humans invented natural bacteria, viruses and amoebas 🦠. NAILED IT!
👌🏻
you should do your part …. 🙂
Im at my beach Vacation, the water was so beautiful the first day! The next day I noticed fish bodies were floating, its sadly only day 3 and people have made piles of fish and eel bodies that ate at least 3 foot tall. Its so sad, we cant even swim and the smell is in the condo.
How are things with your vacation spot now? Good I hope this is so sad I love animals so much, we should go above and beyond for them, it would be better for us all. Best of luck to you guys too 🕊️
Of course the piney point spill caused the bloom to grow 😑
"it's not poisonous" that's the same thing they said about lead paint now everybody is slow.
The aliens fixing the ocean
Lake okeechobee is also a big contributor. The army corps of engineers always release water when the lake gets high then that flows through rivers and streams and straight to the ocean them it turns into red tide. The lake was a big fertilizer dumping site back in the day and the army thinks if they release water during hurricane season it will wash everything away
Two words: Piney Point. They millions of toxins into to the bay but don’t want to discuss it.
I have solved this problem, and contacted the Governors office. I have not heard anything back yet, and I'm serious as a heart attack.
Ugh I hate humans 😩 they ruin everything..
As she enjoys all the human-made comforts of life.
@@deeplorable8988 accurate 😅😭 thanks for the self reflection.
Im sick and tired of the Red Tide created by sulfate and fertilizer runoff from Lake Okeechobee. I wish there’s a way to sue the Lake Okeechobee Management. We cannot even enjoy walking at the beach without stepping on dead fish! They have taken away our rights to enjoy that we work so hard for. This is an ongoing issues that needs to be resolved and it’s NOT natural occuring!!!
The manatees are dying around floridian coast also.
💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭
200% is EVIL!!!!!
LMAO!! How many bought over priced waterfront properties just to breath toxic fumes?
weird I was just wondering this, now this video posts
Thats why I dont go to the beach or swim in the ocean. . . im good!
It’s from dust/sand from the Saharan which puts iron in the ocean it happens at the same time each year. It will be okay it’s been happening for 1000s of year. Just don’t swim during this. The Ocean is a beautiful place to swim/ dive don’t miss out on how beautiful the ocean is!
Girl please.🙄 U lying 😂
@@MissTrinidad it's been documented back as far as the 1500's
I’ve been in Fl a long time , this happens every so many years, but it’s really bad this year
@@user-qb8iy3tx2r then why isn’t it happening in any other country
Cancer. We are Cancer.
It's very likely a combination of things. With the high concentration of development along every single foot of waterfront property, from canals, to rivers, to streams, bays & Gulf, and with many, if not most, of these homes and condos having extensive formal landscaping with high nutrient and watering needs, it seems quite possible that this has had an impact on overall water quality considering the amount of runoff into the waterways on a daily basis.
With the population of Florida growing so rapidly, imagine the amount of sewage processing and landfill systems required to contain and process all the waste. I hope that we are keeping our infrastructure systems on pace with our growth.
Hey .. FOX News, and everyone else Moniee-Mon, is listening keep doing what ' cha do best God bless 🙏
All the water needs to be clean
Crazy we were just at the beach before this started happening and all the sting rays were at the shore there was so many everyone got out the water but a few I was shocked and was wondering why they must have been trying to get away from it
very interesting.
FL my home state, Piney point plant 2 months ago dumped 500 mil gallons of toxic chemicals that they’ve been storing the past decade into the tampa bay. They’ve been covering it up but look up piney point fl
I can tell you were it comes from! The Runoff from those DAMN SUGAR CANE PLANTATIONS!
correct! subsidized protected plantations.
@@AlexanderNixonArtHistory exactly how does no one know this? It’s so damn aggravating. How do people not see this is the MAIN Source of runoff and they won’t do sh!t all abt it since it brings the state of FL BIG MONEY
@@johnnylego807 ......also back in the 80’s when the ships from Asia were mass dumping their sewage then there are cruise liners who do the same
Do your part and save our Oceans!!!!
🐳🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🦈🐙🦀🦐🦑
I don't think that "we" can do much about it as the industry is likely causing most of it.
DUDE, THIS IS SAD !
It comes from all of the blood from one of the world's largest trailer parks
Fish lives matter
Florida is looking more and more like a place to die for.
Hello Piney Point Fl, good job
What time
is low tide today in tampabay
fertilizers probably play a role but red tides have been a thing basically as long as we've been keeping track of them. Nutrient rich dust and sand from africa are blown into the ocean that cause dangerous algae blooms (red tide).
All this red tide sorry to say is coming out of the Mississippi River
And here I was thinking that the only thing toxic in Florida was Donald Trump. Boy do I feel silly.
Stop all of the rich ass chemical company’s from dumping all this stuff in our water and killing all the wild life and blaming it on the public it makes me so mad 😡
You're gagging on set? I've watched Anchorman and can read between the lines.
Thanks to bp for the oilspill. And their talking about septic tanks give a break.
SMART DUST !!!
Back in the early 1980's when red tide was invading US coastlines, it was found that there was a connection with foreign ships and tankers from third-world and other countries like India, where sewage treatment was minimal; releasing their ballast water before loading their ships and tankers. Ballast water that was filthy.
Every Cruise line is guilty of dumping sewage into our oceans,,
This reminds me of that movies The happening where the trees started releasing chemicals causing people to kill themselves.
Listening to this for at least 25y .
Its a want not a can problem.
Farmers at lake o demonstrated that ( only 10% of the problem)
How about banning fertilizer? That’s one thing.
There's nothing we can do. It's the huge corporations and sugarcane plantations that need to take action.
that's the elephant in the room Florida crystal company aka Domino sugar
Damn people just fk the world up
When is low tide today in tampabay
We have been horrible caretakers of this planet. The mother cries in horrowful sorrow. Why do my children love me not?
*Politicians & Baby diapers need to be changed frequently for the same reason.*
It comes from negligence and sheer ignorance. I moved to a neighborhood that is literally doused with herbicides and fertilizers on a regular basis. And now our water supply is festering with toxic Algal bloom and no one is doing anything to help us. Other than pumping the contaminated water into our apartment homes.
I'm so sick of hearing the old media way of talking about these things. It's just a couple extremely fake people who are uneducated on subjects, talking about subjects and interviewing whatever random person they can about the subject.
The spill at piney point duhh
You think Piney point some bad you should look at the lakes mosaic has on Bradington Florida
I love how they don’t even cover all the nuclear waste and tests done in the ocean hilarious
No Problem! Florida has Ron DeSanitizer......... (Only takes 2 years to recognize problems!)
It comes from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Ban all fertilizer for 2 years and see if it helps. No selling in the stores. We must try something
Greg looks like Sacs from the show power
Force fertilizer companies to make it so it doesn’t feed algae or enable this growth. They have the money and knowledge to do it.
This is what happens when we pollute the water and then remove and eat the animals that keep the water clean, shrimp,crab,lobster,clams. We have changed the natural ecosystem of the waters
They f knew when they dumped the water from piney it may cause red tide
END TIMES !!!
This COULD cause damage. This COULD have contributed to the fish kill. Give me a break. Whos paying your company to make you say that? I'll go down that "Rabbit Hole" again. Please hold breath.
Smh
Can they clean tht ill pay for it
stop fertilizing golf courses
Toxic waste dumps
St Pete has a failing sewage system, golf courses pump poison to stay green, all the lawn chemical companies crap leeches into the water, agricultural industry has toxic runoff. Piney point was just a few months ago. Not too hard to figure out
Damn, they straight poisoning the people.
A natural occurrence exacerbated by man. Read agriculture, cattle, yards, and septic tanks. This feeds the red tide.
True, but the agriculture keeps 7 billion humans alive.
All we have to do to stop red tide is stop producing enough food to feed all of humanity :/ I'm not advocating for pollution, but nobody has been able to come up with any real solutions short of allowing more human starvation.
Starvation is actually sort of an eventuality anyway, even if we all become vegetarians.
@@mbradley274 I didn't say do away with them. Some parts of this issue are complicated most are not . Discharge from Okeechobee should go south not eats or west. The river of grass will cleanse it of the excess nutrients etc. . Buffer marshes between the river and agriculture , cattle , homes . Do away with septic systems unless you are in a very rural area.
The population boom doesn't help
@@mbradley274 Sure, people need to grow their own, start using less harmful ways to grow food, it’s been done for thousands of years, if alternative things like hemp weren’t shitted on for decades we would have better alternatives accumulated. The list goes on and on…
@@Fatelovesirony960 Yeah, that sounds like another kick-the-can-down-the-road solution. Pretty much every "more sustainable approach" is simply treating the symptoms. The actual problem that must be addressed is overpopulation. Humans will continue to increase their numbers beyond the point where more sustainable doesn't matter. Think we have problems now? Come back in 10 years when the population is expected to reach 9 billion. Using fewer plastic water bottles isn't going to matter much.
red tide is all over the world... right... even in the rivers .. trust again
Jwayne2k, I'm beginning to think, about underwater gasses, volcanic activity. All of this comes from under water just like a volcano erupts on ground, this must be happening underwater too. Different types of gasses are present in waterways as well as air. As these gasses get released, it causes contaminated seaweed. Have you ever been on the beach and seen discolored sand? Makes me wonder, what do you think.
Wow 😳. At .34 seconds into the video watch His right eye 👁 change color and shape. Hope you all leave some feedback on this one ☝️ .
Wow indd am I really the first to give this a thumbs up and check its veracity? It's true and bizarre
nikki fried is the head of the department of agriculture and environmental services and she isn't doing her job!
To much nitrate and phosphate getting to the ocean, they should probably creat more treatment plants, we know sulfur and biomedias will grow bacteria that is very effective on nitrate, phosphate may be a little trickier
florida sounds like a polluted wasteland
HEAVEN ✍🏾🙏🏽TRY JESUS HE IS THE MASTER OF THE SEA 🌊 HE IS OUR FATHER 🙏🏽
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Piney Point. Everyone knows the truth there.
The water is getting more and more contaminated
Right now the State of Florida is being impacted by a Sahara Dust Storm . With satellite imagery it looks like smoke from a massive fire burning over millions of acres. The Sahara sand is like dust ... and the soil profile of this sand is exceptionally high in iron. Iron enhances the “bloom” effect as the fungal organisms require nitrates to reproduce. It could be a record red tide season this year by the Sahara stimulation being created as we speak.
It’s a connect the dots process in our natural environment ... and sometimes the dots can spell disaster .....
wait and see .
Semper Fi
At least somebody knows what they are talking about
Piney point release was an environmental crime.
pretty sure we all know what created this mess
The deadly algea?
People?
Funny red tide happens on regulatory basis since I been here for 50 years nothing new like hurracaine, better than snow and high taxes
Donaten to fixing this
Florida has trashed itself
Yeah I’m not moving to Florida
Yall shouldn't be asking if there is anything you can do!
Because there is something you can do, keep waste,trash and pollution out of our BEUTIFUL Beaches!!!!
Poor sea animals🦈🐟🦑🐬🦀🐋🐡🐳🐙🐠
Someone please help it's so bad at my Marina on Turtle Beach I can barely breathe. When working my eyes and throat are killing me the next day 🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭🇺🇸
Then quit the job
@@Joshwiththehoodie Right🤦♂️
This is rehearsed.
She starts asking what can we do?
- guy says avoid fertilizer
To close she asks again what can we do?
- guy says again to avoid fertilizer.
This is just propaganda. There is not honest News anymore 😢
COULD BE? How ignorant are these people
I need to become a politician. Immune from being held accountable for all illegal activities for some reason 😂😂😂
I'm surprised FOX isn't blaming it on Biden.
Alabama has a crimson tide .. why don’t they have this problem??
dude....WTF?? I dont live in florida, or anywhere thats seen this red tide thing. but omg, how is that not a top priority right now for the local government there?? wow... that stuff looks DISGUSTING.
Nutrient pollution.?
Why doesn't this happen every year?
Yes we do need a macro approach, we need to stop Mosaic corp, we need to make each county pay for their messes, and we all need to allow our septic systems to be inspected.
The current climate change is affecting many things!
It comes from Piney Point water releases.
Pump it into tanks and drive it to farms to use as fertilizer.
“Is there anything we can do personally” yes reduce animal consumption. Half of all plants we “fertilize” to grow are fed to livestock, and livestock waste is a main cause as well. It’s disgusting. Animal agriculture is the number one cause of habitat loss worldwide.
Maybe we all just need to learn to eat dirt so we can save all of the plants and animals
@@kevindubose6964 It'd pay massive dividends just giving up beef alone. But yes going plant-based reduces environmental pressure many times over. Just can't stand to see the red tide happen worse every year then listen to people somehow rationalize eating on average 3X the global average of beef. They're free to do what they want but damn at least try to help. Sad.
So why won't they just bleach the water
Only God will "bring to ruin those ruining the Earth" and restore the earth back to perfect conditions. That's the only thing that gives me hope. It won't be this way forever
Florida is nasty anyways.
