Remember the one two or three years ago, two I think. Hurricane Wilma was involved.
Wife and I went to Mexico Beach for our anniversary and there were at least 5 dead bull reds on our front step (waterfront house) when we got there and 35 by the time we left.
Despite the horrid eye burn, bleeding lungs and shark bait all around, that was some great surf from that storm.
Latest from FWC red tide report:
Northwest Region: Multiple reports of fish kills and respiratory irritation associated with Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism have been received this week from portions of Walton and Bay counties in northwest Florida. However, alongshore sampling conducted between Escambia and Bay counties has detected little or no K. brevis suggesting that the current bloom, while present, remains slightly offshore. Very low concentrations were detected at Destin Pass and background concentrations were detected near Miramar Beach (Walton County). All other samples, including those collected in and around St. Andrews and Choctawhatchee bays, contained no K. brevis. Offshore samples collected south of Shell Point (Wakulla County) also contained no K. brevis. Respiratory irritation remains possible in areas with above background concentrations of K. brevis and fish kills are possible at concentrations above LOWb.
It's coming.
