Mid week Red Tide update... almost gone



Karenia 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 very low concentrations were found at one location alongshore of Collier County. Karenia brevis was not detected in samples collected alongshore of Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties.
 
No samples have been analyzed so far this week from the northwest coast of Florida or the east coast of Florida.
