Abstract

Korea has experienced a Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tide 10 out of the last 10 years (1993-2002). This species of red tide has been experienced at least once by all the southern coast of the Korean peninsular and has been transported up the southeastern coast all the way to the northeastern coast since 1995. The impression is that red tide is spending and becoming more common not only in the nearest coastal water, but also in the offshore. (omitted)
