Almost eight years have passed since the horrific red tide outbreak of 2005. It was first reported in February 2005 near Port Manatee and lingered for more than seven months, leaving a destructive trail as it spread across the west coast of Florida,

Beaches along Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key were littered with dead snook, tarpon, mullet, redfish, goliath grouper, sharks and pretty much everything that swims for nearly the entire summer of 2005.
