Fort Myers Beach officials have hauled off 10 tons of fish, with another three tons to be removed Monday.

Fish kills have been reported from Sanibel Island south to Marco Island.
 


Red tide is caused by a naturally occurring microscopic marine dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis. With the right water temperature and nutrients, K. brevis can multiply quickly, creating a harmful algal bloom that produces a toxin that can cause death to marine life and and respiratory irritation in humans.
