Talk:Red tide

message: I feel as if having a lead section and an overview section is a bit redundant. I am working on cleaning them up. Could we combine these for a more cohesive overview? Thoughts? CLMills (talk) 22:33, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lead section discussion 

message: I believe it may be best to shift the "Red Tide" section up before the discussion on harmful effects. We can then include the genera list under that subheading. CLMills (talk) 22:37, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

message: "The Alabama Crimson Tide is a reference to red tide."
I have lived in Alabama all my life, rooting for Alabama football, and I have never heard this.  Plus Tuscaloosa is about 250 miles inland, so the phenomenon isn't particularly familiar here.

thread_title:  Citation? 

message: I am old-fashoned. I prefer the use of Algae for marine "plants" It seems many are using Protists to cover all organisims which are simple in composition such as algae, bacteria, fungi etc. I don't agree  - but some may wish to use Protisra here not plants.Osborne 10:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: This entry on Red Tide appears to be incomplete. 
Case in point: I went to the beach and started coughing. This has never happened before, so I asked someone there and he stated it was due to the red tide. Local newspapers and other sources online do indicate that algal blooms may in fact cause respiratory symptoms in humans such as wheezing and coughing. I believe this is worth a paragraph on this entry.
Do a Google search on "respiratory problems caused by red tide" to get more info.

thread_title:  Respiratory problems in humans? 

message: A great example (as seen here ) of a bloom, as it occurs annually around the coast of Newfoundland especially at the southern of the Avalon Peninsula at ecological reserve, Mistaken Point. West of this point is Cape St. Mary's Bird Sanctuary, home to one of the largest Gannet bird sanctuary in the world. --HJKeats (talk) 16:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  What about green tides ? 

message: anything about luminous tides which seems to be generally green or yellow in color and  actually make waves glow at night? Are they caused by the same microorganisms? As they are not red I'm wondering if there is a special name for them. They seem to be phosphorescent. 4.246.162.32 (talk) 20:48, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Have a look at Bioluminescence and scroll down to the list of marine organisms and also have a look at Noctiluca scintillans, a very common marine alga which can produce tomato-soup red blooms, especially near shore in late spring.

Grammar is not great.
Could use a lot more detail.
It acts as if the red tides in florida are only Karenia Brevis. However that is the most abundant only in the Gulf of Mexico, there are more than one type of red tide species.
Maybe link pages to different types of red tide species.
This site should be renamed red tides of Florida or Gulf of Mexico.
It says "the exact cause of the bloom is not known." However, recent studies have shown that it is nutrient pollution along with factors like wind, salinity and temperatures.

thread_title:  Leaving these refs here in case anyone wants to (properly) reimplement them 

message: A potential merge discussion regarding this article is at the Harmful algal bloom article.  IMO even the content of this Red tide article makes it very clear that this is not a distinct topic and a duplication of Harmful algal bloom.  But we should require a careful merge to make sure nothing useful gets lost which will require a good amount of work. The consensus seems to be to do a merge.   If nothing dramatic otherwise happens in the discussion  I plan to start working on a merge sometime next month (in April).  The first step would be adding material from this article into the Harmful algal bloom article. North8000 (talk) 14:42, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

replies: text:  Yes, that's right. Red Tide would redirect to Harmful algal bloom after the merger. The word "red tide" would also be mentioned in the Harmful algal bloom article so that people know they have come to the right place. EMsmile (talk) 08:42, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks very much, then I heartily approve! Understanding the definition of a Red Tide, I have skipped the lede, going straight to the Human exposure section. So I missed the wikilink to HAB in the lede. HAB isn't listed in "see also"!! The HAB article, "Harmful effects/human health/food" sections perfectly describe my symptoms (ASP) after eating a lovely bowl of mussels, in 1987/1988 in Montreal. This proposed merger has connected me to the facts I have been searching for, in the decades since the late 1980s! Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 20:23, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
