Don't be afraid of this sea tide. It is neither blood nor any oil slick.
What you see is called Red Tide. The red color is because of a single cell algae.
The red-tide is mostly harmless though it is said to be fatal to fishes and mammals including human beings.
Red tides occur due to what is termed as algal blooms which means when the microscopic plankton becomes too abundant even for the ocean to bear, they get washed away on the sea shore.
However, there has never any death of a man due to red tide.
What a color combination! It is a beautiful sight-eh?
