Jellyfish. Red Tide 8/24/2013

Description and Comments

Was on vacation (8/22 thru 8/28) and we went deep sea fishing in Panama City Florida. We saw huge Jellyfish and the tide coming on to the beach was an amber color. We were only about 15 miles out in the Gulf. The jellyfish were everywhere and several people, even the deck hands, said they had never seen jellyfish that big before. Nor had they seen the tide the color it was. The bay we headed out of to get to the gulf was an amber color however, the further you got out in the ocean the clearer the water became. We had been in the bay and ocean 2 years before and the water was so clear in the bay you could see very well.
