ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife is tracking red tide, which has been spotted along Gulf Coast beaches from Naples to Clearwater and has a map to help tourists see which areas are being impacted.

Manatee County has already picked up more than 7,000 pounds of dead fish due to the toxic algae bloom.

Red tide has also forced Indian Rocks Beach to cancel its annual BeachFest event.
