| Decaying fish carcasses are collected by a watercraft, background, in a bay south of Hong Kong Island in this Wednesday, April 15, 1998 photo. Hong Kong's fish farming industry has been devastated by red tide. Members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation agreed Friday, Oct. 16, 1998, in Honolulu to curb coastal pollution, sustain fish stocks and share research into global climate change. APEC scientists said land-based pollution contributes to harmful blooms of algae and red tide, a microscopic algae that colors the sea and is toxic to humans and marine life.
