The Environmental Health Research Program developed strategic and creative ways to disseminate information to the public about current environmental conditions and events, such as harmful algal blooms that affect Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Beach and Naples Beaches.

​

They created the Beach Conditions Reporting System (BCRS), which provides several types of information about beach locations and other recreational waterways in Florida and other coastal states.

 

The BCRS is a valuable tool during Florida red tide events, communicating the presence of dead fish, respiratory irritation among beachgoers, water color, and wind direction. In the absence of red tide and other events, the BCRS continues to serve as a valuable source of information for beachgoers in Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Beach and Naples Beaches

FWC HAS ITS OWN RED TIDE REPORTING SYSTEM AND YOU CAN CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE INFO
