This is a reminder to check the Gulf of Mexico HAB Forecast System, linked above, for up-to-date conditions.
Karenia brevis continues to be present along the southwest Florida coast, with bloom concentrations observed by Florida Partners from Manatee to Collier county. Clouds and high winds have obscured satellite imagery over the last few days. Satellite imagery does suggest the bloom continues offshore from Manatee to Collier county, with a large patch located southwest of Sanibel Island and offshore of Naples. The bloom is patchy and can change daily due to wind and currents.
This bulletin provides forecast updates and reminders of the Karenia brevis harmful algal blooms (HABs) in southwestern Florida. Please find up-to-date analysis, satellite imagery, and forecasts at the Gulf of Mexico HAB Forecast System.
Subscribers will receive notices of changes or improvements to the forecasting system. Subscribers will also be periodically reminded to check the HAB Forecast System, especially when there are major changes in bloom status.
