Algae bloom

When we fished on Wednesday the red tide was around in a few spots. Today in Ixtapa it is visible everywhere. Good time not to eat a host of items from the ocean.

Algae blooms aren't necessarily red tide. I've seen no symptoms of red tide. Just a minor brownish algae bloom. The photo I posted yesterday taken from the pier shows blue water in the bay though it was brownish in other places. Give it a few more days to see if a red tide actually forms. When you see dead fish on the beach then it's probably a red tide.

LISTEN It is the worst I have seen in years. PS, does not mean fish need or have to die. YOU can have an oyster and barracuda buffet. I will pass. Also my friend in Puerto Vincente says it is heavy there too.
Also for those of you who care to see what it looks like, one can google "red tide" click on images There one can clearly see the color ranges from Orange to Brown. EOM
