Thank you for posting this, Uncle Timmy.
I am trying to understand why Franklin County, the next county east of us, would have so many exceedances compared to us in Gulf County. We had red tide last year, too, but according to the survey, we seem much cleaner.

Well I haven't read every page in the report, but from what I can see they are more concerned with the coliform fecal bacteria, which is from human or animal waste, than with red tide.
I'm guessing that Franklin Co. has more poo-poo in the water than you!

I also wondered if the river there had anything to do with it.
For being so close to us, their difference in the exceedances is quite startling.
