Apocalypse Now? — A Million Dead Fish in Redondo

A Million Dead Fish

by digby

Ok, this is weird:


Authorities in Redondo Beach are investigating what killed millions of fish over the last day at King Harbor Marina. Fish, including anchovies, sardines and mackerel were floating lifeless in Basins 1 and 2 of the north side of King Harbor Marina.

They speculate this it’s because a red tide (a common occurrence in these waters) forced them into the harbor and they crushed themselves against the shore and ran out of oxygen. And I heard someone on TV say it was because of the high winds we had yesterday that made it impossible for them to get out.

Whatever it is, that is not a sight you usually see in that marina, which is down the highway from where I live. Don’t tell Pat Robertson. I’m sure he’ll think it’s a sign of the Apocalypse since its here in California, home of witchy women and homosexuals.
