This weeks Red Tide status


Present Status; East Coast: Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was not detected in water samples collected this week offshore of Broward County.
 
Present Status; Northwest Coast: Karenia brevis, the Florida red ride organism, was not detected in water samples collected this week inshore of Bay County or offshore of Taylor County.
 
Present Status; Southwest Coast:   Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was not detected in water samples collected this week alongshore between Pinellas and Monroe counties or offshore of Pinellas, Lee and Monroe counties.

Please note: The FWRI's Harmful Algae Bloom (HAB) group recently began using Google Earth maps. Each page on the Red Tide Current Status Web site will have a link to an interactive map where the user can zoom in and zoom out on different sections of the state, and click on a sample location for specific information including latitude and longitude, sample date, and cell concentration ranges.
 
In order to view this map, you must have Google Earth installed on your computer. The Google Earth software can be downloaded from the Google Earth Web site through the following link: (http://earth.google.com).
