					<description><![CDATA[St. Petersburg is continuing to test waterways after nanoplankton and red tide was found in samples collected Thursday in areas where a fish kill and dead pelicans were found. City officials said a water sample collected by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission staff at Riviera Lake #1, the site of an initial cold weather inversion-related fish kill last week which led to discoveries of sick or dead brown pelicans, has turned up bloom concentrations of nanoplankton. Meanwhile, a water&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After recent tests on water in and around Coffee Pot Bayou came back normal, crews from St. Petersburg&#8217;s public works department have removed the warning signs from around the shoreline. The warning signs had been placed around Coffee Pot Bayou as tests were being conducted following the discovery of numerous sick and dying brown pelicans. &#8220;The water quality is not in question in Coffee Pot Bayou,&#8221; said John Palenchar, interim water resources director. &#8220;And we are working with all concerned&#8230;]]></description>
