Environmentalists in Florida are calling on the governor, Ron DeSantis, to declare an emergency as a worsening
“red tide” algae bloom off the state’s south-west coast
threatens popular tourist beaches and blamed for the deaths of wildlife including fish and dolphins.

Several counties have issued health alerts in response to the outbreak,
which scientists say began in the
Gulf of Mexico last year when Hurricanes Helene and Milton stirred up nutrient-rich waters that feed the algae.
