Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is working with other agencies to monitor a red tide event
along the southern Texas coast. The bloom was first confirmed on Sunday, September 13, by the
University of Texas Marine Science Institute who collected samples around the fish pass jetties
on Mustang Island due to strong aerosols.
Water samples collected and analyzed for Karenia brevis densities are given the following
designations:
 Background = Less than < 1 cell/ml
 Very Low = 1 to 10 cells/ml)
 Low = 10 to 100 cells/ml
 Moderate = 100 to 1,000 cells/ml
 High = Greater than 1,000 cells/ml
Regional Updates
Upper Coast (Sabine Lake, Galveston Bay, East Matagorda Bay, Matagorda Bay):
 Image Flow Cytobot at Texas A&M Galveston identified K.brevis cells at background
near Pelican Island (Galveston).
 Results from water samples collected by TDSHS in Galveston Bay area were 0 cells/mL.
Mid Coast (San Antonio Bay, Aransas Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, Upper Laguna Madre)
Water samples
Gulf Of Mexico
 Over the past 24 hrs., the TAMU Image Flow Cytobot at the UTMSI Pier in Port Aransas
has reported K.brevis cell densities maintaining at low concentrations.
 Water samples collected on Mustang Island are characterized as low.
 Water samples from PINS are generally characterized as high densities with cell
concentrations increased further south around the 20 mile marker. The northern boundary
of PINS was characterized as moderate.
San Antonio Bay
 Data received yesterday from water samples collected by TDSHS on 9/21/15 identified a
bloom around the Port O
