These blooms (often called "red tides") can discolor waters red to brown and persist for months to years Numerical models provide ocean currents to track red tides, and the results come from two sources

For the west Florida Shelf, results come from the West Florida Coastal Ocean Model (WFCOM, Zheng and Weisberg, 2012) which accounts for both local and deep-ocean forcing by nesting the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM Chen et al., 2003) into the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean. The South Florida Optical Oceanography Lab has warned 2025 is expected to be a "major sargassum year."
