Bradenton Beach Red Tide

Occurred on August 22, 2018 / Bradenton Beach, Florida, USA

Info from Licensor: "As I headed to Bradenton Beach about nine miles from my hotel downtown I noticed a sour smell in the air, but I could never have imagined the cause. As I parked my truck and prepped my drone in the public beach parking lot the smell was actually beginning to sting the inside of my nose, that's when I realized what was happening. As I flew over the beach, the scale of the dead marine life affected by this was completely horrifying. Nothing seemed to have escaped, and the haunting, relentless, red tide lapped at the sand occasionally delivering up another bloated victim."
