Red tide has been causing problems around Pinellas for the last few weeks, but nothing as bad as conditions experienced after Hurricane Elsa passed offshore July 6-7.
Pinellas County staff as well as Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports that red tide in concentrations ranging from high to low have been found in recent water samples along Pinellas Countyâs beaches, the Intracoastal Waterway and Tampa Bay.
Dead fish continue to be a big problem. Staff says the countyâs contractor is using 16 vessels to try to scoop up the dead fish before they get to shore. As of July 15, crews had removed 902 tons of red-tide related debris.
