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.
Red tide is a naturally-occurring, higher-than-normal concentration of the microscopic algae Karenia brevis (formerly Gymnodinium breve). This organism produces a toxin that affects the central nervous system of fish so that they are paralyzed and cannot breathe.
