Abstract
A conservative estimate places the economic damage at $20,000,000 from the effects of the 1971 Red Tide on the seven afflicted counties which border the west coast of Florida. A future Red Tide of equal severity could cause up to 40% more economic damage. One of greater severity could easily triple the damage.Keywords
