Experts are still watching red tide, but with winds, and cooler weather, the area may escape a bad season.
The Calusa Waterkeeper has been seeing fluctuating results for red tide amounts, said Codty Pierce, life-long resident of the Caloosahatchee watershed.
“I’m hopeful,” Pierce said. “We still have this consistent east wind which has been helping keep it offshore as we start to get into cooler temperatures. I’m really hoping that this starts to dissipate. It’s been lingering out there for a few months so it’s definitely a concern.”
