Disoriented pelican found on Marco Island may have red tide poisoning, experts say
By CNN
May 23, 2024A brown #pelican discovered on #MarcoIsland last week is presumed to have red tide poisoning, according to the Conservancy of Southwest Florida.
"'Typically, we first get the notion that red tide is around when birds are sick,' said Dr. Michael Parsons, of the Water School at Florida Gulf Coast University.
"The seabird was spotted disoriented on the beach, according to a release. Despite those symptoms, which are common with the #neurotoxic algae, no red tide has been detected in our area, per the Florida Department of Health in Collier County.
"'We have no signs of red tide around, FWC is aware of this situation and will be monitoring it more closely,' Parsons said."

But we will need MAJOR wastewater upgrades to prevent red tides like the one we experienced last summer! https://sfchronicle.com/climate/article/san-francisco-bay-water-17923903.php #harmfulalgae #harmfulalgaeblooms #redtide #cawater #californiawater
