There’s good news on the red tide front.
Water samples taken on Tuesday from Sarasota County beaches show a big decline in red tide cell levels.
Scientists at Mote Marine Laboratory found no high levels of the red tide organism at any Sarasota County beaches. However, four sites — Blind Pass, South Lido, Siesta and Turtle beaches — had medium concentrations.
Sarasota County Emergency Management said in a report Tuesday that none of the sites reported red tide aerosols or fish kills.
