Red Tide happens naturally, but you never see fish kills and wide spread smell like this. Worse in the 11 years I've been down here. But in this case, it was the planned chemical spill from Piney Point. Their waste product from making fertilizer was deliberately dumped into the Bay and everyone knew this was going to cause a Red Tide explosion. But, the whole dam giving way would have created an even worse Red Tide. Below is from Wikipedia. Just google Piney Point if you want to confirm.......... Piney Point phosphate plant is an industrial site in Manatee County, Florida, formerly the location of a fertilizer plant and currently owned by HRK Holdings, which leases portions of the land to industrial tenants under the name Eastport.[1][2] In March 2021, a phosphogypsum stack, the dam to the reservoir storing wastewater from phosphate tailings created by from the former plant's operations, began to fail, prompting evacuations on April 1 followed by the governor of Florida issuing a state of emergency on April 3.[3][4] Contaminated water was discharged into Tampa Bay in an effort to prevent the reservoir's collapse Last edited by BigRedChief; 07-16-2021 at 03:04 PM.. |

What Rain Man said. We were in Bradenton and drove over to Cape Canaveral and LOVED the Space Center. It's about $65/person + $10 to park.

We’re leaving Sunday morning for 3 days at universal and then 3 days at fort Walton beach. Is the red tide near either of those 2 places?
Also, any tips on good restaurants there would be appreciated. |
