In the actual greek texts refering to the sea becoming "like dead man's blood"...and the same goes for the moon. We find these references in several places in Revelation.

I have seen numerous NASA satellite photos showing that most of the coastlines of the world rimmed with a band of water that has the appearance of dead blood...brownish red. Put some fresh liver in a pan of water for a while and see what the water looks like.

The substance in the water causing this is called red tide...which kills sealife and is dangerous to humans on contact or breathing its vapors from shore.

Here are a few so that you can see for yourself:

This fresh water red tide bloom followed closely after heavy rains associated with Hurricane Floyd, which ended a very dry summer. The first photo http://www.whoi.edu/redtide/rtphotos/hand_close.jpg left shows the surface slick of the bloom. The next photo shows how the bloom appeared after wind dispersed it in the surface waters http://www.whoi.edu/redtide/rtphotos/keller_9-23-99.jpg

Description: A red tide bloom has waxed and waned along Florida’ southwestern coastline for months, dating back to late 2001. As recently as March 1, 2002, high concentrations of Karenia brevis were located along the Lee County and Collier County shorelines. In-water measurements revealed there are more than 1 million cells of the algae per liter of water—a level at which the organism become highly toxic to fish and shellfish in the area.

This true-color image was acquired by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA’s Terra satellite, on February 17, 2002.

Description: Red tides (algae) bloomed late this summer along a 300-mile stretch of Texas' Gulf Coast, killing millions of fish and shellfish as well as making some people sick. State officials are calling this the worst red tide bloom in 14 years. The algae produces a poison that paralyzes fish and prevents them from breathing. There is concern that the deadly algae could impact or even wipe out this year's oyster harvest in Texas, which usually peaks during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
The red tides were first observed off the Texas coast in mid-August and have been growing steadily in size ever since. Red tides tend to bloom and subside rapidly, depending upon changes in wind speed and direction, water temperature, salinity, and rainfall patterns (as the algae doesn't do as well in fresher water).

This true-color image of the Texas Gulf Coast was acquired on September 29, 2000, by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying aboard NASA's Terra spacecraft. The red tide can be seen as the dark reddish discoloration in the ocean running southwest to northeast along the coast. In this scene, the bloom appears to be concentrated north and east of Corpus Christi, just off Matagorda Island. The image was made at 500-meter resolution using a combination of MODIS' visible bands 1 (red), 4 (green), and 3 (blue).

The city of Houston can be seen clearly as the large, greyish cluster of pixels to the north and west of Galveston Bay, which is about mid-way up the coastline in this image. Also visible in this image are plumes of smoke, perhaps wildfires, both to the north and northeast of Houston.

wait, this is very interesting... how does this relate to the Revalation??

as for the greek texts... of course, the red tides are nothing new, they've been a part of our planet from before we were here, and will be long after we're gone. Think of it as mother nature's population control methods.
