Following the 2018 Blue-Green Algae and Red Tide crises in Southwest Florida, Troubled Waters interviews leading HAB researchers, frontline medical staff and community members. It imparts critical information on potential public health risk - particularly from the aerosolized transmission of toxins.

Waterborne explores the public health impact of harmful algal blooms and waterborne bacteria. Hear from scientific experts and officials on how Florida's policies are failing to reduce the occurence of HABs and bacteria contamination, and inadequately protecting the public.
