Paper pinpoints cause of San Diego’s 2020 red tide
San Diego researchers have a better idea of why an algal bloom along the county coastline in the spring of 2020 got so big. The red tide event in April and May of 2020 was among one of the largest in years and it created changes in the nearshore environment that lingered well into the summer. Researchers at the UC San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Jacobs School of Engineering have pinpointed how a specific species of plankton, a dinoflagellate, fed the bloom.
