Many Floridians remember the mounds of dead fish lining beaches and signs warning beachgoers to keep out of the water thanks to a two-year-long red tide outbreak after Hurricane Irma.
“So with Hurricane Ian, we have all of these chemical components. We have submerged cars, we have so much more bacteria because not only did we have wastewater overflows, we had pipes burst. We have people that can’t flush toilets because the water table is so high. So they’re actually using outside as their toilet,” explained Fanara about Hurricane Ian’s effects on supercharging nutrients available to algae. “So we have all of this bacteria coming into our coastal waters.
“The best hypothesis that we have is that these blooms are offshore at the ocean bottom. Now, with the upwelling that we saw of the water being pushed offshore of Tampa Bay, it looks a lot like Hurricane Irma, which we know is fired an upwelling event.”
