red tide

The Red Tide Respiratory Forecast has received $653,960 to “get more microscopes in more hands on more beaches.” The funds will also help to expand detection of other toxic algae species.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said this week the deepening red tide did not factor into the decision to scale back releases. But the agency also said it has decided not to appeal a judge's order to factor damage from algae blooms into managing lake releases.

A judge has given the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers a year to assess the damage caused to sea turtles, manatees and other protected species by dirty water released from Lake Okeechobee.
