Description
Floridians looking to catch some rays on the beach can do so carefree as red tide looks to be mostly clear along west coast beaches in the Tampa Bay area.
According to an update from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the red tide organism, Karenia brevis, was detected in 53 samples on Florida's Gulf Coast, but mostly near the southernmost part of Sarasota County and onward to Lee County. There was one area in Pinellas County where bloom concentrations were detected at medium levels in Pinellas County near Three Rooker Island.
