My Baja predictions to mention “red tide” are unusual, but the recent Facebook threads have made people worry about water contact, so I posted the following.
As a marine biologist a long time ago, he spent many years in the Sea of Cortez, I think it was noctiluca
scintillans. Noctiluca is a flagellar algae, a single-celled organism.
It is known for its bioluminescence. The blooming in winter is mainly caused by strong winds, resulting in local rise. Sudden nutritional outbreaks can trigger a large amount of bloom. Many bioluminescences will confirm this reasoning tonight. Unlike some other flagellar algae, especially the common flagellar group on the California coast, Noctiluca does not directly make shellfish toxic. The main problems are oxygen depletion and ammonia
Release them to die, and if conditions remain calm, it may kill local fish.
Personally, I would avoid local seafood, especially reef fish and shellfish for a few days. And take a shower. Remember, there are some more dangerous flagella flagella. If you bring a female scientist to examine the water. Noctiluca is unique.
