Red Tide found in Franklin County waters

                Red tide was found in very low concentrations in one water sample taken from the Apalachicola Bay last week.

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.

According to the most recent red tide report from the Fish and Wildlife Conservation commission, red tide was found in very low concentrations in one water sample taken south of Crooked River Road in St. George Sound.

It was not found in any other water samples taken from the Bay – in fact it was not found in any other location in northwest Florida.

Red Tide was last seen in the Apalachicola Bay last December.
