Yes, because algae blooms are usually bad for everything but algae. Red tide is a bad thing.

Fun fact, depending on your definition of "fun". Deniers sometimes argue that plants will just grow to absorb the extra co2. This doesn't work in general, because most plants aren't limited by co2 availability. There are some exceptions, and the algae that causes red tide is one of them. So we have that to look forward to.
