“The 2013 forecast is the sixth annual Gulf of Maine red tide forecast NOAA and WHOI have issued. It is similar to the 2012 prediction, which was also classified as moderate. The other categories are limited and extensive, and refer to how much of the Gulf of Maine coast could be closed due to red tide. Extensive blooms last occurred in 2005 and 2008, when large areas of the Gulf of Maine were closed to shellfish harvesting.”
