Red tide was found in background concentrations in one water sample taken from Franklin County last week.
According to the state's weekly red tide report, the positive sample was found in Franklin County in an area known as Paradise Point which is 2 miles Northwest of St. Vincent Sound.
This is the first time red tide has been seen in Franklin County this year.
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.
