http://myfwc.com/REDTIDESTATUS Sanibel just had a red tide that persisted for a few weeks. The FWC(see above) issues periodic reports of red tides and they have a number of products on their website that can give you updates, status reports and other information. I do not know about citizen reporting, but you might wish to contact FWC and report what you've seen, in case they're missing it, or if it's something else. Two summers ago there was an algae bloom that was reported by flats guides guides fairly south in Biscayne Bay, and covered by the Herald. I don't know whether that was considered a red tide.
