Dead fish are floating on the surface of Charlotte Harbor and endangered West Indian manatees continue to get sick and die from the area's most recent outbreak of red tide.
While two manatees have been rescued, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reported that 38 endangered manatees have died in four counties since mid-March. Their bodies have been found in Charlotte, Sarasota, Lee and Collier counties.
