Over the years, numerous outreach strategies by the science community, such as FAQ cards and website information, have been used to explain blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis that occur annually off the west coast of Florida to the impacted communities. Many state and federal agencies have turned to funded research groups for assistance in the development and testing of environmental outreach products. In the case of Florida red tide, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute/Mote Marine Laboratory (MML) Cooperative Red Tide Agreement allowed MML to initiate a project aimed at developing innovative outreach products about Florida red tide. This project, which we coined "The Art of Red Tide Science," consisted of a team effort between scientists from MML and students from Ringling College of Art and Design. This successful outreach project focused on Florida red tide can be used as a model to develop similar outreach projects for equally complex ecological issues.
多年来，科学界采用了许多外展策略，如常见问题卡片和网站信息，向受影响社区解释每年在佛罗里达州西海岸出现的有毒甲藻短裸甲藻水华现象。许多州和联邦机构已向获得资助的研究小组寻求帮助，以开发和测试环境外展产品。就佛罗里达红潮而言，鱼类和野生动物研究所/莫特海洋实验室（MML）的红潮合作协议使MML能够启动一个项目，旨在开发有关佛罗里达红潮的创新外展产品。我们将这个项目命名为“红潮科学艺术”，它是MML的科学家和林格林艺术与设计学院的学生共同努力的成果。这个关于佛罗里达红潮的成功外展项目可以作为一个模型，为同样复杂的生态问题开发类似的外展项目。
