Red tide runs rampant across Tampa Bay again

Red tide is impacting humans' own everyday lives — beyond impacting our wildlife — in ways large and small.

• 🐟 St. Pete has removed more than 15 tons of dead fish from its waterways.
• 🏝 Hillsborough County closed the beaches at Apollo Beach Nature Preserve and E.G. Simmons Conservation Park on Friday due to public health concerns.
• 🏖 The National Weather Service issued a beach hazards statement Saturday night, in effect through tonight, advising people to avoid going into the water in coastal southern Pinellas County.
