(From Wikipedia) – A phytoplankton bloom is microscopic algae that can reproduce so quickly when conditions are right, that the biomass can be seen from space. It can discolor seawater to a brown or reddish color, giving rise to the name, red tide, though scientists prefer “algae bloom” since the color varies and the bloom is unrelated to tidal movement.
Likely a vacation rental tenant not knowing that we get that stuff around here all the time.
