Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
Mote Marine Laboratory is a nonprofit, independent marine and environmental science research organization with more than 20 years experience in red tide research. Funds would continue the comprehensive research program to determine the factors that control red tide blooms, adverse effects on marine life and public health effects. These funds also will support research initiated toward red tide control and management. |

|
|
|
|
||||
Red tide is a health hazard affecting thousands of Florida residents. More than 150 manatees died during a red tide outbreak in Spring 1996 and more than 100 dolphins died along the Panhandle in 1999. For the first time in recorded history, red tides occurred simultaneously along three different coastal areas of the Florida coast. Ecomonic losses in coastal areas during red tide outbreaks are significant. These funds will allow Mote scientists to work in cooperation with the State FL Marine Research Institute, Dept. of Health and DEP to monitor red tide events, provide public information and protection to environmental and public health. |
