Midweek Red Tide Update (October 8, 2014)

Midweek Red Tide Update (October 8, 2014)

A patchy bloom of Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, continues in the northeast Gulf of Mexico. Satellite images from the Optical Oceanography Laboratory at the University of South Florida show patches offshore of Franklin, Wakulla, Taylor, Dixie, Levy, and Citrus counties and alongshore of Dixie and Levy counties. Concentrations of the red tide organism in these inshore/coastal areas range from background to high. No offshore samples have been analyzed so far this week. Additional samples analyzed throughout Florida this week did not contain Karenia brevis.
