I hope nobody is expecting me to answer medical questions about the birds that C.R.O.W. rehabilitates. I am a devout coward by religion and a retired Math teacher by profession so most of what I do is carry boxes, which I never open, out to the medical experts. I DO know that Red Tide, when it is present, has a bad but not lethal effect on our Double-crested Cormorants. They show up along the beaches acting weird, falling over, etc., but are relatively easy to capture and treat. The toxin is flushed out of their system in a week or so and then they are released where they were captured. Guess what? We often see the same Cormorant two or three times!! Brown Pelicans are also subject to the dangers of Red Tide, but I don't know about Gannets. My GUESS is yes. I have received a couple of private inquiries about C.R.O.W. and my answer has been "Take a look at <http://www.CROWCLINIC.org>" There you will find answers from people who actually know what they are talking about.
