Description: Maybe you already knew that deadly algal tides discolor ocean waves, deplete the water of oxygen, and release toxins that can kill a huge range of ocean critters, but did you know that the tiny organisms that cause red tides are also an extremely important part of our ecosystem? In this episode of #Untold, a new #YouTubeLearning series from ACS, PBS, and YouTube, we dive into the science behind this somewhat terrifying, sometimes glowing phenomenon.
