Last year's red tide invasion cost the tourist and fishing industry millions of dollars.
USA TODAYSouthwest Florida is warily watching the approach of another red tide invasion to its shores one year after a toxic algae bloom cost the tourist and fishing industry millions of dollars in losses.
Farm runoff containing nitrogen and phosphorus also feeds the bad algae and triggers explosive growth. "We have definitely been seeing red tide patients for several weeks now," said Joanna Fitzgerald, director of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida's von Arx Wildlife Hospital in Naples."The main ones are the double-crested cormorants . They’re the big . When you see them stumbling along the beach, you know what’s going on.
Last year, Florida businesses reported nearly $150 million in losses from the killing of fish and other marine creatures that had littered beaches and drove off tourists. That bloom spread as far as the east coast and Panhandle, killing millions of fish and eels, hundreds of dolphins and sea turtles, untold numbers of birds and even a 27-foot whale shark.
