Red
Tide was found in the St. Joe Bay in Gulf County last week.
The
algae was found in background concentrations near Pig Island about 7
tenths of s mile east of the St. Joe Bay on May the 30th.
Red
Tide is a microscopic marine algae called Karenia brevis.
In
large enough concentrations its toxin paralyzes the central nervous
system of fish so they cannot breathe – leading to fish kills.
Red
tide can even affect humans causing skin, eye and throat irritation.
