"Alexandrium is a type of dinoflagellate--a microscopic organism that defies classification as either plant or animal. It can move, if not exactly 'swim,' and rides the currents, taken in by filter feeders such as clams, mussels and oysters. Scattered populations that live throughout the Gulf of Maine are completely harmless. But when Alexandrium goes into reproductive overdrive, it develops 'blooms' that, in extreme cases, can make the water a rusty color and cause shellfish to become poisonous." (BANGOR DAILY NEWS) This article examines the dangers associated with red tide.
