The public is encouraged to use best judgment and pay close
attention to any Department of Health or FDEP announcements prior to using the
beach and or going into the nearshore waters. Attached is one of many

As of mid-day, Red Tide conditions were still at high levels
on Fort Myers Beach. Currently, there is still minimal drift algae and fish
coming ashore across the island. Staff is continuing to monitor the situation
and the town’s contract team will react to events as they may occur. The
back bay cleanup is continuing as needed as well.
