Panama City Beach red tide up to “medium” concentration

The last report showed the red tide at low levels. Friday’s report now shows “medium” levels in some places, causing fish kill and respiratory issues.
PANAMA CITY BEACH — The red tide bloom off Panama City Beach appears to be spreading out andgrowing more intense.
Out of 20 sites sampled in Bay County from Sept. 10 to 12, Karenia brevis, the toxic algae responsible for red tide, was present in 14 of them, according to the FWC Friday report. At two sites, in the St. Andrew Pass and at the former Pelican Point Golf Course at “medium” concentrations, between 100,000 to 1,000,000 cells per liter, and enough to cause respiratory irritation and fish kills. At other sites in Bay County it was detected in background to very low levels.
Since the sampling was done, more fish kills have been reported along the beaches.
Small bait fish and sizable red fish were washing up near the Russell-Fields pier on Friday night. At the Panama City Marina, the carcasses of dead fish were mixed in with seaweed on Saturday morning. And fish kills have continued to be a problem at St. Andrews State Park.

Don't forget to f**k Baldo in the voting booth. We need to get this scum out of office as bad as we need to get the scum out of our waterways.
