My understanding is that it is not good to be in the water during a red tide. Surfers seem to complain about nose and throat irritation after surfing in a red tide.
1) Is it safe to dive during or through a red tide?
2) Is it safe to catch/eat lobsters caught during a red tide?
I'm thinking that it wouldn't since lobsters don't eat algae, right? Aren't lobsters bottom feeders/scavengers eating carcasses of dead fish or whatever else is on the ocean bottom?
Thanks for any insights.
