Hundreds of tons of dead sea life washed up along the shores of Tampa Bay due to a natural phenomenon known as a "red tide," and now local officials calling on the state government for help in cleaning up the the massive mess.

Nearly 800 tons of dead sea life were collected along the shores that consisted of fish, dolphins, sea turtles, eels and stingrays, according to St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman.

"You cannot go outside in east St. Petersburg without choking on the smell," Twitter user Peter Schorsch wrote.

On July 14, St. Petersburgh Deputy Mayor Dr. Kanika Tomalin called for state assistance in removing the dead sea life. Tomalin also asked that residents be patient with the cleanup process as workers continued to clear the waterways.

Just blow it up with dynamite. It’s a tried and true method that works every time.

You’re a jerk!! I was about to post something similar and you stole my thunder!

At least on the bright side I was able to terrorize it on a cruise ship in 03.

Young, very fit, dirty Patricia and a Rosie whale back flat to the wall, eyes as wide as saucers while I gave her hell for bringing a kid into her deviant lifestyle and that they’d ruin the poor girl and nobody thinks she’s funny, just fat.

After that she always had her entourage with her lol.

“dead sea life”

At first I read this as Dead Sea life, miraculously turning up in Florida. Then I realized it was just an oxymoron.

Dead sea life? Didn’t Pelosi relocate a contingent of her thugs (Capitol Police) there two weeks ago?

Collect it all and sell it to the Chinese. They’ll eat it.

While I am one to believe in prophecy, this is a fairly common occurrence in the gulf of Mexico. By my count, it happened 6 times in the previous decade.
