Red Tide update


Courtesy of FWC: No samples have been collected so far this week in northwest Florida or on the east coast of Florida.

In southwest Florida, Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was not detected in water samples collected this week alongshore of Collier County or offshore of the Florida Keys (Monroe County).  One sample (out of 4 total samples) collected alongshore of Sarasota County contained background concentrations of K. brevis.
 
Sampling will continue this week, and complete results will be available in the next scheduled status report on Friday, April 1.
