So I decided to join a friend of mine at the beach today
and he wanted to go to jetty Park because of the fact that some of his family wanted to go out and enjoy the water. When I got to the beach and met up with him The Park rangers had told him that they are not letting anyone in the water because they was an blue green algae bloom that stretched from Melbourne all the way up to jetty Park. Does anybody have any confirmation on this? it seems rather random and I have not heard about it in the news but I do trust the park officials at the same time. Thank you ------------------------- hey, i don't know if you read this yet ----------> I <3 16streets.com thank you Sean O'hare Delicious beer comes from here |

There is algae in the water right now along the shoreline, extending midway into the surf zone. I've noticed this for a couple weeks along Patrick AFB.
Here's an FDEP report on Friday, 7/19/19, from the Jetty Park area: Here's an interactive map from FDEP to help check: https://floridadep.gov/AlgalBloom As of now, I'm not aware of any beach closures. Cocoa Beach Pier is packed with folks in the water. ------------------------- From a City in Trees |

Has anyone gotten sick from being in the water that you know of?

I'm guessing there's no health concerns then. I'm no scientist though

A few from a FUN morning....
Blue green algae bloom?? Not really, but some yucky seaweed on the inside. But it was a fun morning before and after the storm. ------------------------- Puerto Rico 11 - 24 - 2013 |

I've been surfing in the Cocoa Beach goo for the last month and have had no ill effects.
Well, one ill effect, I'm pissed that I can't fish. ------------------------- I was right. |

I call it summer silt, I believe it's a red algae of sorts but seems to show up in the summer when the waters warm up and there's a lot of thin skinny water where the sun penetrates it real well and seems to grow this stuff, stays inside mostly and seems nontoxic, weird stuff...

There is also speculation this profusion of seaweed is a result of cruise ship dumping. I wonder if there is a correlation...

http://www.brevardtimes.com/20...162XVIBLYJEGgs02uxQUf8 Short little article with a video link too, comes annually when the nutrient rich upwelling surfaces ... It's been here for more than a month and a half. I've never seen it for more than a few days and I'm going on 35 years in Cocoa Beach surf. If it's up welling, why is the water so hot? ------------------------- I was right. |

It's still thick as soup in Cocoa Beach, but now it is turning black.
