Besides blocking the sun, the red tide also depletes oxygen from the water for devasting results. My favorite Calico kelp bed at Royal Palms (near Palos Verdes Point) which was so thick last year you couldn't paddle across it is completely gone and along with it the dozen or so 2-6lb Calis I used to pull out in a morning session. I'm am also hopeing that the fast growing kelp will recover by mid summer.
