Summary

There has been a TON of confusion (and even fake news) revolving around red tide this summer, so we decided to bring on one of the leading algae experts in the country (Dr. Mike Wetz) to discuss the truth about red tide, how it happens, what makes it worse, etc. Mike does a great job of simplifying red tide (and distinguishes the differences between red tide, green tide, and brown tide).

1:09.0

of the most informative people out there, and super knowledgeable. He has this doctorate

1:44.3

fake. But I mean, you could tell me some of the stuff is just flat out wrong and misleading.

So I sent Greg a message to Greg, like, hey, do you have anyone who's like the expert,
