Red Tide

Recently, Florida's west coast has been experiencing red tide. Yesterday I went to Lido with my mom and we walked all the way down to a wall that we walk down to. At the wall, there was lots of dead fish on the sand. It smelled bad and red tide makes it hard to breath. The red tide didn't seem to be effecting the seabirds too much, but we were only seeing the birds that were close to shore and not the ones farther out. There were also lots of olive snails stranded near the water. We put all that we could find back in the water. We did not find many good shells that day, or much trash.
