"Crap! We have a red tide."/ Shall I get the chocolate?

Working at the Shoreline Wilderness Sanctuary was usually just watching a bunch of feeds and occasionally sending drones out to scout the weather. Often very quiet and focused on whichever point of interest was scientifically relevant in the hour.
It tended to attract the kind of people who were obsessed with that sort of thing in the first place. The kind of people who would willingly spend three hours peering at blurry night-vision images of turtles hatching with a clicker in one hand and an energy drink in the other.
This time, though, Sal was watching the weather drone feed. "Shit. Red tide."
