Lido Key Beach would make for a perfect postcard of Florida beaches if it weren't for the dozens of dead fish lying on the shore, killed by a toxic algae bloom.
The toxic algae known as the red tide has threatened long stretches of Florida coast, like Lido Beach Key , off the coast of Sarasota.LIDO KEY BEACH - With its brilliant sun, white sand and turquoise water, Lido Key Beach would make for a perfect postcard of Florida beaches if it weren't for the dozens of dead fish lying on the shore, killed by a toxic algae bloom known as red tide.
"We had a lot of cancellations. People get sick," Napier told AFP."Why would you want to spend that kind of money and stay here?" "It smelled horrible. I couldn't stand to be near the beach," Bowser said."It bothered me in the form of coughing, continuous coughing. I got a sore throat every day, having trouble with my eyes or sinuses."
The goal of the research is to"kill the algae, denature the toxin and not have significant impacts on the nontarget species," explains Dr. Michael Crosby, president and CEO of the laboratory. The current outbreak was triggered by Hurricane Ian, which hit Florida in September, pushing existing red tide to the surface, explains Crosby.
