Southwest CoastKarenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was not detected in water samples collected this week alongshore of Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee and Charlotte counties. One sample collected each alongshore of Lee and Collier counties, two samples collected alongshore of Sarasota County and one sample collected offshore of Pinellas County contained background concentrations of K. brevis. Samples collected last week just offshore between the Pavilion Key and Ponce De Leon Bay areas (northern Monroe County) contained concentrations of K. brevis ranging from low to medium.
Bloom Boundary: Sample analysis confirmed patchy concentrations of Karenia brevis last week in southwest Florida just offshore of northern Monroe County between the Pavilion Key and Ponce de Leon areas. Recent satellite images suggest the continued presence of a small bloom in this area.
