| A previous Red Tide Bloom |
The Karenia brevis bloom reported last week alongshore of central Sarasota County was documented yesterday outside of Charlotte Harbor via satellite images. This southward movement is consistent with model predictions reported by the USF’s College of Marine Science Center for Prediction of Red Tides. Analysis of water samples confirmed the presence of K. brevis ranging from very low to low concentrations alongshore between southern Sarasota County and northern Lee County.
On the northwest coast of Florida, Karenia brevis was not detected in a water sample collected alongshore of Walton County.
No samples have been received so far this week from the east coast of Florida.
