'Red tide' worries some Carolina officials test for fish-choking algae
CHARLESTON, S.C. — State health officials expanded testing for about 10 miles along the state's northern coast for the red tide that has closed 200 miles of shellfish beds in North Carolina.
Recreational shellfish beds in a five-mile area south from the North Carolina border were closed last month as a precaution.
Red tide, so called because of the discoloration of the water caused by algae, has lingered off the coast of North Carolina since fall and may finally have moved into South Carolina waters over the weekend because of northeasterly winds, officials said.
symptoms in humans ranging from numbness to gastrointestinal illness.
The algae can make filter-feeding shellfish unfit to eat and can cause
North Carolina officials say the red tide has cost about $4.5 million in lost shellfish sales and has idled about 11,000 workers in the commercial fishing industry.
Late last week, South Carolina health officials found concentrations of the algae near shore at North Myrtle Beach and Little River Inlet, said Ken Moore, who heads the shellfish program for the state Department of Health and Environmental Control.
In both samplings, the algae were found in concentrations higher than the 5,000 cells-per-liter threshold for closing shellfish beds and near the 10,000 cells-per-liter above which the
average person might experience respiratory problems if exposed to the contaminated shellfish.
But Moore said there had been no reports of respiratory problems, even with researchers who were taking samples.
Farther south, weekend samplings found only trace amounts of the algae between two and five miles off of Surfside Beach and Murrell's Inlet.
The algae, under the right conditions, can multiply into huge masses, or blooms, in the water. Relatively low light conditions cause the algae to reproduce rapidly.
The red tide was brought north out of the Gulf of Mexico last fall by a pocket of warm water in the Gulf Stream, authorities think.

Directors announce nominees
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Steven Spielberg, maker of "Empire of the Sun," James L. Brooks of "Broadcast News" and Adrian Lyne of "Fatal Attraction" were among the directors nominated yesterday as the best in their field by the Directors Guild of America.
The guild nominations are considered an important harbinger of the Oscars, with the directors' honoree varying only three times in 40 years from the selection of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Veteran Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci also was nominated for "The Last Emperor," and Lasse Hallstrom of Sweden received a nomination for "My Life as a Dog."
The DGA awards will be announced March 12.
"Fatal Attraction," which has made more than $139 million at the box office, stars Michael Douglas and Glenn Close in a story about a woman's deadly obsession with a married man after the two have a weekend affair.
Spielberg won his first DGA award in 1985 for "The Color Purple."
