Red tide is moving north up the Gulf Coast of Florida and it has resulted in significantly high levels of dead fish in Pinellas County.

According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, 1,700 pounds of dead fish have been collected from St. Pete Beach since Thursday of last week.

Red tide was reported in the Suncoast in Charlotte, Manatee, and Sarasota counties in December. You can check beach conditions at Mote Marine Laboratory’s website which documents reports of respiratory illness as well as reports of dead fish.

The algae blooms can cause respiratory illness, especially in those with asthma or other breathing difficulties.

If you feel ill at the beach, you should go indoors.
