Answer:

Red tides are caused by several species of dinoflagellates and diatoms, microscopic unicellular phytoplankton that live in cold and warm seas. A red pigment, called peridinin, which collects light during photosynthesis , colors the water red when large numbers of the plankton populate an area.
