Algae poisons Gulf
Description: Intensified by historic drought conditions, the Gulf of Mexico has been subjected to the invasive and life-threatening algal bloom known as red tide, which has killed 4.2 million fish since September. During drought conditions, the Gulf of Mexico is more susceptible to red tide because the algae favors warm, salty water. [Source:The Battalion (Texas A&M University)]
