Red tide is here in the Tampa Bay area and it's causing massive amounts of fish kills at a high magnitude.
There's a big push to help clean up all of the dead fish across the region.
"Today our focus was to collect trash and educate people here about planting seagrass, oyster restoration natural grass restoration, and then mangrove restoration, really highlighting, when red tide is here when we have these healthy ecosystems, there's a better bounce back for the fish and the fishery," said Kyle Rossinof MangGear.
In Tampa, the dog beach at Picnic Island was shut down this past Friday and in St. Petersburg 120 employees took off their normal jobs to help remove all the dead fish.
