Florida Red Tide Solutions

Red tide has been found in high levels on beach in Collier county.

Hello long time, recent and first time readers of Florida Red Tide Solutions! My name is Texx Smith and I’m the sole operator here. I usually am very good at adding new content. However since February of this year I’ve been very busy supplying the Data Systems and General IT services for a WIND Certification Entity participating with the state of Florida’s My Safe Florida Home program. A lot of you have probably noticed the number of new articles per month has dropped off the charts.

The good news is that I’m finally starting to work normal business type hours for money, now I can put in some man hours for Red Tide and spend more time with family. there will be several Florida Red Tide articles posted in the next few days. Even one from a guest writer.

Here’s a hint about some upcoming articles:

• Breaking news about lawmakers and Red Tide
• Red Tide in Washington state
• Local Politicians testify about Red Tide to Feds
• Breaking News about Maine’s Red Tide
• Educational / Science article by a guest writer

Before even the first article is written or posted however, the red tide report will be updated.

Then some articles.

Then I’m setting up a forum here where it’ll be easy for the public to add their own Florida red tide reports or global red tide reports environmental news etc.

Stop back soon.

Not much time to talk about Florida Red Tide today folks but I absolutley had to share this news with all of you:

“The Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego has discovered that RCA bacteria—a natural marine microbe—can attack and kill the single-cell plankton that produce red tide algae.”

The Sierra Club is hosting a Red Tide Forum this Thursday, 2pm, at the Manatee Community College campus in Venice, in the Selby Room at the Professional Development Center of the campus.

Topics covered will be Red Tide, fertilizers and water resources.

Larry Brand, a professor of marine biology at the University of Miami will be the featured speaker. Larry Brand is known for his research linking human activity — fertilizer and phosphates — along Florida’s coastline to the increase in red tide and other harmful algal blooms in the Gulf of Mexico.

Florida is currently free from any red tide blooms! No harmful algal blooms of any kind!

Freakin Happiness!
