Karenia brevis background concentrations

Yay, I've almost caught up with my postings! Water clarity is dramatically improving almost back to idyllic turquoise blue and Karenia brevis is only showing up in minimal concentrations. I guess I'd better find a clear water pic to be fair. Anyone have some good ones that I can use?



Southwest CoastKarenia brevis, the Florida Red Tide organism, was not detected at bloom concentrations in samples collected this week along the southwestern Florida coast. Background concentrations were observed alongshore of Charlotte County and background to very low concentrations were detected alongshore of Collier County. Karenia brevis was not detected in samples collected alongshore of Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota and Lee counties or offshore of the Florida Keys (Monroe County).
 
Northwest CoastKarenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was not detected in water samples collected this week alongshore of Okaloosa, Levy and Citrus counties or offshore of Okaloosa County.
 
East CoastKarenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was not detected in water samples collected this week alongshore of Dade County.
