Answer: Algal blooms are the result of an excess of nutrients (particularly phosphorus and nitrogen) into waters and higher concentrations of these nutrients in water cause increased growth of algae and green plants. As more algae and plants grow, others die.
Red tides are caused by gonyaulax coming under dinoflagellates of kingdom protista.
