Trump looks to stem the 'red tide'

President Trump is focusing on coastal fisheries as part of his environmental agenda going into campaign season, an approach particularly geared to the key battleground state of Florida, where he is aiming to eradicate the “red tide” of toxic algae.

Trump laid out his coastal priorities on July 8 in a major White House speech on the environment, targeting recent outbreaks of red tide — so named for its dark toxic algae blooms that make swimming and fishing hazardous.
