As this debris is raked into piles to facilitate hauling, Staff wishes to remind the public to not touch or climb on the piles. Separate crews have begun to remove red tide affected fish from the Town’s canal systems as well. The FWC’s red-tide status report is updated every Wednesday and Friday afternoon. To report fish kills, call the Fish Kill Hotline at 800-636-0511.
Due to increase volume associated with waiving the fees and to ensure compliance with health department regulations, the following practices will be in place during FMB Pool fee waiver period: (1) once capacity is met, priority will be given to Fort Myers Beach residents, individuals with pool memberships, and guests of Fort Myers Beach hotels and resorts that have a bill and/or hotel room access key for verification, (2) once the pool use is at maximum capacity, the pool will be cleared by staff every two hours, (3) staff will also maintain a waiting list for patrons to be granted access at the next available two hour session.
Town staff is currently working on a grant opportunity through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for aid in the expenses associated with the algae cleanup
