@msjoannamich@FLGovScott@MoteMarineLab@VISITFLORIDA Egmont key is between Pinellas & manatee county. Both under a state of emergency. I seen a couple hundred dead fish out there last week. Now the high winds push the dead fish back south. Everything in the area has been effected.
Today, I issued an emergency declaration to help SW FL and Tampa Bay area combat impacts from red tide. We’re directing $100,000 for @MoteMarineLab & $500,000 for @VISITFLORIDA. I’m also directing an additional $900,000 for Lee County Cleanup Efforts bit.ly/2P6UBGj
