Crimson tide has dual meaning. The Crimson tide is what it's called when a perticular type of sea weed dies and all comes up on shore (the sea weed is a deep red) this happens along the gulf coast, including Alabama.
A red tide, or harmful algal bloom, is a higher-than-normal concentration of a microscopic alga (plantlike organism). In Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, the species that causes most red tides is Karenia brevis, often abbreviated as K. brevis. To distinguish K. brevis blooms from red tides caused by other species of algae, researchers in Florida call the former the âFlorida red tide.â.
