The ocean is home to millions of different life forms, but some visit shorelines and beaches more commonly than others.

Red tide can kill marine life and cause serious illness in human beings. These toxins accumulate and cause red tide. Every year, certain colonies of algae, often referred to as blooms, produce too many toxins.

Red tide can seriously effect the safety of swimming conditions too.

Even the most experienced beach-goers can still be caught off guard. When waves break too close to the shore, they can be unpredictable, can knock people down, and can cause serious neck and spinal injury.

Shore breaks are a serious threat at the beach as well.

Riptides, also known as rip currents, pull swimmers away from shore at speeds too high even for experienced Olympic swimmers. Riptide is one of the most dangerous situations for inexperienced swimmers.This is only important if you plan on being a lifeguard at a beach. Learn about tides, water conditions, and wildlife.
