Abstract
Although the exact mechanisms and factors of red tides are not fully understood, red tides are essentially a coastal phenomenon. The role of land drainage in the modification of coastal waters is discussed. The role of other factors (salinity, biologically active substances, etc.) that are altered by the process of land drainage is analyzed and correlated to experimental evidence derived from laboratory-grown dinoflagellate cultures.Keywords
