πŸ“„ 60 Bottlenose Dolphins Dead in Florida Panhandle

(Fri Mar 19, 5:17 PM ET) MIAMI (Reuters) – More than 60 bottlenose dolphins have died in the waters of the Florida Panhandle in the past nine days under mysterious circumstances, U.S. marine researchers said on Friday.

The National Marine Fisheries Service said its preliminary tests found no evidence of red tide, a harmful alga that has been blamed in the past for massive die-offs of endangered manatees, in the waters of St. Joseph’s Bay, where most of the dead dolphins have been found.

And I thought red tide was only found here in the Philippines.
