Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was detected in background to very low concentrations in thirteen samples collected in, along, and offshore of, Manatee, Sarasota, and Charlotte counties (southwest Florida), and in very low to low concentrations in seven samples collected in, and alongshore of, Gulf County (Northwest Florida).
Additional samples collected throughout Florida this week did not contain red tide.
This information, including maps and reports with additional details, is also available on theFWRI Red Tide website. The website also provides links to additional information related to the topic of Florida red tide including satellite imagery, experimental red tide forecasts, shellfish harvesting areas, the FWC Fish Kill Hotline, the Florida Poison Information Center (to report human health effects related to exposure to red tide), and other wildlife related hotlines.
To learn more about various organisms that have been known to cause algal blooms in Florida waters, see the FWRI Red Tide Flickr page. Archived status maps can also be found on Flickr.
