Periodic fish kill off’s are not unusual...Parents had a place on Lake Huron when I was just a tot, under 9 and one year the alewifes (not sure of the spelling, but its a fish) washed up on shore all summer and the place stunk, you couldln’t get rid of all of them....that was back in the 1940’s. It went on all summer and no oil spill involved. By the following summer, they were all gone. The birds and bugs had a feast all summer, fall and winter..
Yes. Menhaden die offs were so common, the Indian word for the fish was “fertilizer”. The fish breed like crazy, get chased into shallow waters by predators and suffocate themselves. The Dutch reported on an enormous Staten Island die-off in the 1600s.
Not buying it. Coincidence? I think not. These aren’t all bait fish. Stop protecting BP. It is what it is. I’m NOT for any drilling bans but I can also face reality.
