Pinellas County Removes More Than 800,000 Pounds Of Dead Marine Life Due To Red Tide
Public works crews have removed more than 800,000 pounds of marine life including dead fish since red tide started in June. The Pinellas County beaches still remain open even though there’s different levels of red tide.
“Red Tide is having an impact on our bay and beaches right now, but Pinellas County is working around the clock to lessen its effects on residents and visitors by removing dead fish and sharing the latest information on where the bloom is concentrated,” Pinellas Public Works Director Kelli Hammer Levy said in a statement. “Our beaches remain open and it’s important to check the latest information on which areas are being affected as conditions change from one day to the next.”
