Dead fish wash ashore as toxic red tide hits the San Francisco Bay Area

At least 21 marine animals have washed ashore dead throughout the San Francisco Bay Area in the last week — potential victims of the return of the same toxic red tide that killed thousands of fish in the region last year. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife set up a project on iNaturalist to collect reports of dead marine life in the Bay Area. So far, people have observed dead marine animals in multiple areas including the Berkeley Marina, Albany Beach, Marina Beach and Point Molate Beach.
