Current Conditions A patchy bloom of the red tide organism, Karenia brevis, persists in Southwest Florida, where K. brevis was detected in 76 samples over the past week. Bloom concentrations (>100,000 cells/liter) were observed in 19 samples: four from and offshore of Pinellas County, eight from Sarasota County, one from Charlotte County, and six from [...]
Current Conditions A bloom of the red tide organism, Karenia brevis, persists on the Florida Gulf Coast. Patchy bloom conditions also persist in Tampa Bay but have improved relative to last week and we are continuing enhanced monitoring in this and surrounding areas. Over the past week, K. brevis was detected in 126 samples. Bloom [...]
Current Conditions A patchy bloom of the red tide organism, Karenia brevis, persists on the Florida Gulf Coast. Over the past week, K. brevis was detected in 98 samples. Bloom concentrations (>100,000 cells/liter) were observed in 37 samples: one sample from Pasco County, nine samples from Pinellas County, 18 samples from Hillsborough County, eight samples [...]
Current Conditions A patchy bloom of the red tide organism, Karenia brevis, persists in Southwest Florida, where it was detected in 57 samples over the past week. Bloom concentrations (>100,000 cells/liter) were observed in one sample from Manatee County, five samples from Lee County, and five samples from Collier County. K. brevis was also observed [...]
Current Conditions The red tide organism, Karenia brevis, persists in Southwest Florida, where it was detected in 56 samples over the past week. Bloom concentrations (>100,000 cells/liter) were observed in one sample from Sarasota County, nine samples from Charlotte County, and one sample from Collier County. K. brevis was also observed at background concentrations in [...]
The red tide organism, Karenia brevis, persists in Southwest Florida. K. brevis was detected in 21 samples collected over the past week. Bloom concentrations (>100,000 cells/liter) were observed in three samples from Lee County. Recent satellite imagery (2/23; NOAA, USF) indicates the presence of chlorophyll patches along and offshore of Lee, Collier, and Monroe counties. [...]
Current Conditions A patchy bloom of the red tide organism, Karenia brevis, persists in Southwest Florida. Over the past week, K. brevis was detected in 58 samples. Bloom concentrations (>100,000 cells/liter) were observed in 13 Lee County samples and four Collier County samples. Satellite imagery (1/26; NOAA, USF) indicates the presence of patches of chlorophyll [...]
