A strong ocean current called the #LoopCurrent failed to circulate water in the shallow region of the Gulf of King Knucklehead. As a result, subsurface waters along the West Coast of Florida remained unusually warm…

"Typically, there is a mixing of the water column where warmer surface waters interact with the underlying, often cooler subsurface water, but in this case, the shelf water was not able to cool down because the Loop Current did not initiate any upwelling."
