Welcome to Florida: Red tide

We went visit Madeira Beach on Monday morning and saw similar issue. A lot dead Fishes and eels flushed along the shore. People still walking exercises, but I couldn't tolerate. The air made my throat irritated and coughing.

Amazing all the denial I read, some people just have a hard time with reality. Yes, there is red tide for s large death of west central Florida, just because YOU are not at those beaches. does not exclude it's existence. Secondly, someone mentioned the color of the sand...guess what. that's a bay beach, and that is exactly how they look.I an so tired of the people that have moved down here these past few decades and the fools they have helped elect that have all helped destroy our once beautiful habitats. If the brighter bulbs do not begins to shine, we are going to lose what we have, and that is just a data based fact, like it or not

It's real all right, look a little and you'll find reports and maps with locations and warnings for beachgoers. The problem must be addressed or it will only get worse. Thanks for your reporting. Denial will not help the worsening Florida environment.

I am here right now and have not seen that on your beaches at all. The picture looks staged.

That sand doesnt look like florida white sand!!
