HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM FORECASTS
Southwest Florida Satellite Imagery
Composite 8-days of satellite imagery up to 12-03-2024 showing location of algae bloom which may include algae besides K. brevis. Overlaid cell count data provided by several contributors. The past few days of imagery can be seen at the HAB monitoring site.
Water samples from 11-26-2024 to 12-03-2024 detected Karenia brevis, red tide, along the coast at levels that pose a respiratory irritation risk in CHARLOTTE, LEVY, MANATEE, PINELLAS and SARASOTA counties and at levels unlikely to cause respiratory irritation in LEE county.

The images were derived from Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite data from the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) and were processed by NOAA, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science. Cell count data were provided by several contributors.
