Thank you for taking the time to report this matter via SeeClickFix.
The information that you provided was sent to our team that has been coordinating cleanup efforts. Cleanup crews have been dispatched and responded to the area indicated within your report. Please be advised that if our boats were unable to get into channels and areas that are narrow or were blocked by other boats, they were unable to conduct cleanup efforts in that specific area. Additionally, please note that unfortunately, fish that are on private shores and not in the water, will need to be addressed by the property owners. Material can be placed in trash bags and then in the normal trash for pick up, or if needed, a list of dumpsters available for disposal drop-off can be found here: https://www.lilmoservices.com/redtide .
If you have not already, please also report this matter to FWC via their fish-kill reporting tool which can be accessed here: https://public.myfwc.com/FWRI/FishKillReport/Submit.aspx
