Parts of Fort Myers Beach seeing fish kill from red tide Red tide has been battering SWFL coast recently. On Monday, Fort Myers Town Council said they removed 10 tons of dead fish with three tons left to go. A red tide bloom is defiling parts of Florida's southwest with toxin levels high enough to trigger respiratory alerts and cause widespread fish kills. Fort Myers Beach removed more than 13 tons of dead fish as of March 10, but high levels of the seafaring algae have been reported from Clearwater to Naples.
