TALLAHASSEE, FL, NOV 13, 2019 -- Florida officials have developed a new online dashboard that gives a snapshot of water quality in the state's major lakes and waterways.

The website, protectingfloridatogether.gov, provides information on blue-green algae blooms and red tide, as well as providing information on key environmental projects.

The Associated Press reports Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the new website during a visit to an aquatic park in South Florida on Tuesday.

The portal currently provides water quality status for three of south Florida's major bodies, including Lake Okeechobee. State officials say they are working to expand the tool to include all waterways in the state.
