New research tool could improve forecasting of Florida red tide

Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a new tool aimed at improving forecasts of Florida's red tide, the harmful algal blooms that periodically blanket the state's Gulf coast, killing marine life and deterring beachgoers. Better forecasting could give communities, tourism operators and health officials earlier warning of blooms, allowing them to prepare for their impacts.

Why now: Red tide events affect Florida's environment, tourism and public health, so any advance in predicting them draws attention
