The discarded fish were discovered by Tyndall staff on Dec. 2.

 

New FWC buoy in Tampa Bay to aid water quality, harmful algal bloom monitoring 

  • A new buoy deployed this month by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in Old Tampa Bay collects continuous water quality information to help researchers learn more about conditions that trigger harmful algal blooms.

Fishing Forecast 

High pressure will move east across the southeastern states today and tonight then push east offshore of the Carolina coast for Thursday through the weekend. As the high progresses eastward, winds will shift from the northeast to the east by Thursday...and the southeast for Friday through the weekend. A cold front will then approach the area over the weekend and tighten the pressure gradient across the area with ridging in place. As a result, mariners can expect periods of wind speeds in the exercise caution range this weekend.

Thursday

East winds 5 to 10 knots. Bay and inland waters a light chop. Thursday night will bring east winds 5 to 10 knots. Bay and inland waters a light chop.
