Follow-up water samples taken in coordination with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission show red tide is at very low or background levels near these locations, indicating the public may resume water-related activities.

It is important that the public continue to exercise caution and good judgment. If you experience respiratory or eye irritation, you should consider leaving the area or seeking relief in an air-conditioned space.

The latest sample results can be viewed on ProtectingFloridaTogether.gov.
