SECOORA Partners Monitor Red Tide Bloom in Gulf
Red Tide Resources:
WFCOM Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) 3.5 day trajectories forecast  | FWC bulletin cell counts are inputted into the West Florida Coastal Ocean Model (WFCOM) Nowcast/Forecast model as available based on 5 detection levels (present, very low, low, medium, high) to trace physical transport of the observed biomass at the surface and bottom. |
USF Collaboration for Prediction of Red Tides Models  | |
USF Bass Glider  | Follow USF’s Bass Glider as it monitors and maps the red tide bloom. |
Ongoing Glider Mission on the West Florida Shelf  | As a joint effort of tracking and predicting the red tides in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the U.S. southest coasts, a Slocum glider was deployed off the west Florida coast by the Ocean Technology Group at College of Marine Science, University of South Florida. The glider is collecting oceanographic data in the water clomun across the West Florida Continental Shelf. The near real-time data are shown in the following preliminary plots. |
FWC Red Tide Updates  | Read summary reports of the current red tide conditions around Florida, including a map of sampling results and regional status reports. |
