Ugh. If you want to see a close up of dead fish on a Florida beach, read the article linked above. Be glad there is no smell component to an online article.
Did you know that "More fertilizer is consumed in Florida than any other state but California, Illinois and Texas." Fertilizer, both commercial and people-made, is a big problem as the blue-green algae thrives on it. The blue-green algae kills the fish, just like the red tide. Hence the stench! Check the tides before you book your vacation.
