Red tide is a phenomenon caused by algal blooms during which algae become so numerous that they discolour coastal waters “red tide”.

The algal bloom may also deplete oxygen in the waters or release toxins that may cause illness in humans and other animals.

You can see this phenomenon in the Gulf of Mexico, Florida, Northern California, Hong Kong, Australia but till then, scroll down and take a look how it looks on photographs.

Cave in New Zealand hides a secret that does not exist anywhere else on the planet.
