HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM FORECASTS

Texas Satellite Imagery

Composite 8-days of satellite imagery up to 10-24-2026
showing location of algae bloom which may include algae besides K. brevis.

Water samples from 10-17-2026 to 10-24-2026 detected red tide (caused by Karenia brevis) along the coast at levels unlikely to cause respiratory irritation in Calhoun county.

The image was derived from Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite data from the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) and was processed by NOAA, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science. NOTE: Image quality will vary with clouds and satellite position (OLCI satellite background information). Cell count data were provided by several contributors.
