Imagery, samples indicate red tide has reached Panama City area

PANAMA CITY — The red tide originating in St. Joseph Bay has reached Panama City Beach and St. Andrews Bay. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission has confirmed that several fish kills have been reported in Gulf and Bay counties in the past week, as of Nov. 10. FWC's daily sample map shows that low concentrations of Karenia brevis, the microscopic algae that causes red tide, were found at the downtown Panama City marina. Samples also found high concentrations in St. Joseph Bay. While a red tide health alert has been in place for Mexico Beach since Oct. 28, new samples prompted the Florida Department of Health in Bay County to issue a health caution alert for the downtown marina.

The forecast also shows low to medium levels of chlorophyll fluorescence throughout St. Andrews Bay. Most of St.
