The
Florida red tide organism, Karenia
brevis,
was present at background to low concentrations over the past week.
One
sample from Northwest Florida (Franklin County) contained background
concentrations of K.
brevis.
This
information, including maps and reports with additional details, is
also available on the FWRI
Red Tide website.
The website also provides links to additional

Fish Kill Hotline, the Florida Poison Information Center (to report
human health effects related to exposure to red tide), and other
wildlife related hotlines.
