Red tide is still being reported across beaches in the Suncoast. Over the past week, Karenia brevis was observed at background concentrations in three samples collected from Manatee County; background concentrations in one sample collected from Sarasota County; and very low concentrations in one sample collected from Charlotte County. Those local samples were the only ones statewide that contained karenia brevis. Forecasts predict northern movement of surface waters and minimal net transport of subsurface waters from Pinellas to Lee counties over the next three days.
