red tide

Current Conditions A bloom of the Florida red tide organism, Karenia brevis, persists in Southwest Florida and currently extends from Pinellas to Collier counties along ~145 miles of coastline. Observations of >1,000,000 K. brevis cells per liter (“high” concentrations) continue to occur at coastal and inshore sites from Manatee to northern Collier counties, and minimal [...]

In Southwest Florida over the past week, K. brevis was observed at background to high concentrations in 12 samples collected from Sarasota County, very low to high concentrations in 10 samples collected from Charlotte County, background to high concentrations in 12 samples collected from or offshore of Lee County, and background to low concentrations in [...]
