Imagine a cool morning with the sun coming up over the bay. The sound of the waves gently rolling onto the coast and the seagulls passing overhead. Your cares and worries pushed out to sea. Just the way it should be!

Unfortunately this year (2018) in southwest Florida that is not the image that comes to mind. We are suffering from one of the largest outbreaks of red tide in recent history. It has devastated the beaches, killed massive amounts of wildlife and threatens the health of coastal communities.

This song “Bonita Bay”, a song I wrote,  is dedicated to those working to find the true cause and solution to red tide. If you would like additional information or would like to help please visit Marine Laboratory and Aquarium.
