First, some good news! Our beaches are so much better, for the time being, at least! The smell is pretty much gone and there are few, if any, dead fish. The red tide still affected our breathing during our walk today, but not too bad. The city has collected over 267 "tons" of dead sea life from Sanibel beaches since July 30th. Yes, you read that correctly. It is so sad and upsetting. Hopefully, we are on the downside of this horrible red tide.
