SARASOTA, Fla. — Dead fish have washed up on beaches. A beachside festival has been canceled, even though it wasn’t scheduled for another month. Florida’s southwest coast experienced a flare-up of the toxic red tide algae this week, setting off concerns that it could continue to stick around for a while. The current bloom started in October.

The annual BeachFest in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, sponsored by a homeowners’ association, was canceled after it determined, with help from the city and the Pinellas County Health Department, that red tide likely would continue through the middle of next month when the festival was scheduled. “Red Tide is currently present on the beach and is forecasted to remain in the area in the weeks to come,” the Indian Rocks Beach Homeowners Association said in a letter to the public. “It is unfortunate that it had to be canceled but it is the best decision in the interest of public health.

Ronny is blaming wokeness.

Too many toxic Floridians.

The Red Wave turned into the Red Tide and the outlook is bleak 😂

UCF_Diver39 And I don’t see DeSantis doing jack about it besides playing endless petty culture wars

Did Norfolk Southern have another train derailment ?

Oh well, deal with it, Floridians have repeatedly voted for pro pollution politicians and this is the result. You get what you vote for.

I think it’s great that the Ocean gives Florida the middle finger.

In Palestine, Ohio too.

TheWarMonitor Yeah, just continue to use immense amounts of fertiliser in industrial agriculture… what could possibly go wrong…

It’s okay though. They’re totally owning the libs. 🙄

Florida, the turd dangling off the hind end of America.

10 Plagues Forthcoming? God iz Gud! 😁😈

Beats Floriduh any day

That’s because of all of the New Yorkers who moved over there.

So this doesn’t go against their freedom state?

Well they have more important stuff to work on. Like making sure gay ppl don’t exist

It’s probably the result of being in a small closed room with somebody that just got through eating Taco Bell! Open a window!

Captain Ron couldn't be bothered...he is too busy anti-woking a bookshelve somewhere

Florida's 1

Finally some good news

We’ll….desantiis will ruin that state…but he was voted in so……

The ocean is woke. Ban the ocean

Keep the deregulations coming, MAGA 🤣

Nothing to see hear RON'S got it.

Republicans have that affect of living organisms

A product of man made climate change. It's only going to get worse.

Use to live on the nation’s greatest seafood producing source, Chesapeake Bay. Somewhat similar devastation to the aquatic life of the bay mainly from Pennsylvania farms and agricultural nitrogen overload flowing down into the bay. Common devastating issue🔥🔥🔥🔥

De Santis will blame drag queens. Wake up Florida. He’s just not that into you.

No problem. The governor RonDeSantisFL is safe in Iowa…

Great water here in Southeast Fl. Ask the 100,000 plus spring break kids. Boy, what will the gulf side be like in a few months w warmer water! Sick Stew🤮

It’s GovRonDeSantis policies

As governor Rick Scott removed regulations causing a skyrocketing in pollutants…post hurricane gulf water will infect the gulf coast for 60-80 years. Republican leadership in Florida cares about $$$$ and power. They have destroyed the planet.

DeSantis is too busy banning books and campaigning to be bothered.

Ask RonDeSantisFL

The 🌍 is degassing

BigSugar

We were not near the red tide.

Lol the Rick Scott red tides are back?

The large migration of the population in less than 20 years is a major factor in the chemical composition of the water at the beach. 'Sarasota Magical place....'

Pause a moment. Joe Biden's border policies have killed more Americans in 2 years than the war in Vietnam killed in 12 years. ?

Sounds like a plague. Anyone misbehaving in Florida?

Couldn't happen to a nicer state.

That's the DeSantis stink! floridafascism

Piney Point

Make America Florida?

Doesn't look good from where I'm sitting.

Due to deregulation by DeSantis regime!

But,but Ron Ron cleaned all that up with his “massive“ Everglades bill. It should be spotless. 🙄

Smells like freedom!

Biden again?

Red tide is ruining Florida beaches while the governor campaigns in Iowa for president.

Stop fretting, This is an annual occurrence.

Wear a mask lol

100 million he wants to use for his army use for the red tide, restoring Florida's natural water flow to the Everglades, this can be prevented ask Big Sugar.

But we’re number 1

Drag queens will cure that.

Cue the Climate Hysteria in 3... 2... 1...

Almost like all those environmental rules in place were there for a reason. Whelp. Go whine to DeSantis about it. He'll get to it eventually.

Thanks Ron

Another reason not to go to Florida.

That Red Wave they were all talking about finally arrived.

freedom problems.

As DeSantis spends his time censoring childrens’ books, trying to control university curriculum, banning drag shoes, etc. Florida will be in big trouble if our beaches are unfit.

Wow, it’s almost though treating our oceans as a sewer is coming back to bite us in the tucas.

The burning means freedom

I call bullshit , Japan was just trying to get approval to dump the Fukushima water and told no and now this

SydWeedon We all breathe the same air, here on our beloved planet, MotherEarth. Let that sink in, and understand that what gets done to one part of our planet eventually gets done to all of us.

Well…they elected that Red Tide

AP out of context: 'A beachside festival has been canceled, even though it wasn’t scheduled' 😂

Meatball Ron…. This is on your watch and you have not lifted a finger to get this under control. And you want to run for President; think again, the American 🇺🇸 people would NEVER elect a do nothing like you!!!

Can confirm. Was in Naples recently and our entire boat started coughing all of the sudden like it was a plague movie.

But BAN ALL THE BOOKS AND STOP THE DRAG SHOWS!! They are the real problem. /s

so just another day in Florida

WOKE RED TIDE

Just another day in DeSantis' fascist paradise.
