Well at least it’s getting warmer and the cold weather has done a bit of number on the Turtles who were in shock (so were we!) let alone the Manatees and Fishing in general. Good news though is the Red Tide seems to have left this area and is only patchy in some areas of the south.
Sea Grass winter survey is coming up with the instruction day in another few weeks on Jan 30th. Last year we had a good group out, we also found it even more interesting with Rob Wright with Sarasota County giving us an in-depth (no pun intended) understanding of the sea life whilst we were using the multitude of watercraft including Paddle-boards, Kayaks, Inflatables and almost anything that floats. :D Great way to make new friends too!
If you’d like to follow my Water Shed project in my own community and my passion for keeping the Ocean and the Waterways as pristine as possible go to AllardPPC.com my PR Marketing Company and VRAGroup.com that does the Gadgets, Knick-Knacks and Cool Stuff which is better known as Promotional Products, Ad Specialties and Incentives. And Hey I love what I do and it allows me to enjoy my water sports... bonus!
Red Tide status for the SOUTHWEST COAST...
Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was NOT detected in water samples collected this week alongshore of Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte and Collier counties or offshore of the Florida Keys (Monroe County). Four samples (out of 20 total samples) collected alongshore of Lee County contained background concentrations of K. brevis. Four samples (out of 14 total samples) collected inside of Pine Island Sound (Lee County) contained concentrations of K. brevis ranging from PRESENT to VERY LOW.
