Red Tide report 7.13.11


No samples have been collected so far this week on the east coast of Florida.
On the northwest coast of Florida, Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was not detected in water samples collected offshore of Okaloosa County.
On the southwest coast of Florida, Karenia brevis was not detected in water samples collected inshore of Charlotte County or offshore of Sarasota County.  Two samples (out of 20 total samples) collected alongshore of Sarasota County contained background levels of K. brevis.
My note: Interesting with a bit of rain we're seeing some background levels of K. brevis in Sarasota county even though its minimal
