The Red Tide Alliance (RTA) is a public/private partnership among four organizations that is committed to educating the public about the effects of the Florida red tide and other harmful algal blooms (HABs). Information provided includes mitigating adverse effects and answers to public health questions.

The Alliance consists of four entities:

The State of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Florida Marine Research Institute is the state agency responsible for the study and monitoring of Harmful Algal Blooms. 

Mote Marine Laboratory is a not-for-profit marine laboratory that conducts research on the Florida red tide species.

The Florida Department of Health's Aquatic Toxins Program assesses health impacts of harmful algal blooms to ensure protection of the health of Florida citizens and visitors. 

Solutions To Avoid Red Tide (START) is a not-for-profit grass roots, citizen organization dedicated to funding and promoting efforts for the prevention, control and mitigation of Red Tide and other HABs.

The Red Tide Alliance (RTA) works with Florida's Harmful Algae Bloom Task Force to insure that an effective plan of work is being carried out to monitor, mitigate and control Red Tide and other HABs. RTA also is working to insure that an effective long-range plan is being developed that provides specific goals and accountability. RTA also insures that communications to the scientific, State and local government, legislative and business community about Red Tide and other HABs is clear, concise and effective.
