Red
Tide was found in the St. Joe Bay in Gulf County last week.
The
algae was found in 1 location from water samples taken on March the
18th,
Red
tide was found in background concentrations at Oak Grove.
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.
