>Scientists have finally uncovered the reason behind mysterious red tides washing up on Florida's coastline. The blood-red waves have been known to be both destructive to the environment and costly for local officials, but the exact cause had baffled researchers. But for the first time, scientists have identified almost a dozen viruses associated with the red tide events, and found they are triggered by a massive growth in algae. The color of the tides is fueled by water currents and nutrients in the sea, as well as rising sea temperatures, that combine to turn the algae red. Authorities have been forced to close a number of beaches in recent years, with the red tides known to cause health issues in fish, birds and even humans.
