Thanks for the clarification. I have had quite a bit of experience with
cold water red tides which were not much of an issue for bathers or
divers, but did kill people who ate shell fish. I do remember comments
about reactions from breathing the toxins or algae that were kicked into
the air by the surf.

We don't have red tides on the East Coast of Florida. The Gulf Stream
keeps things moving along. It will be interesting to see what effect the
incoming tropical storm/hurricane has on these tides.
