Red tide found in 1 water sample in Franklin County last week

Red tide was found in background concentrations in one water sample taken from Franklin County last week.

According to the state's weekly red tide report, the positive sample was found 29 miles south of Dog Island, outside of the Apalachicola Bay.

Red Tide is an organism that in large enough concentrations releases a neurotoxin that can kill fish and even affect humans with eye, nose and throat irritation.
