HAB

HAB: (Harmful Algae Bloom)
   HAB occurs in fresh and saltwater and can affect fish, birds, marine mammals, and also humans. The red tides are causes by phytoplankton and cause the water to turn red because of there reddish tint. To help prevent this we can keep our waters clean and not put so much waste into the water. This costs the U.S. 75 million dollars a year and cause 20,000 beaches to close.
