Today officials are investigating a “massive” fish kill in Delaware Bay NJ. Tens of thousands of Menhaden (a type of herring used for fish oil and bait), have been washing ashore in Cape May NJ. Preliminary suspects are not red tide or any other toxic algal bloom.
New Jersey’s State Department of Environmental Protection indicates the die-off seems to affect only the menhaden. The agency is still assessing the extent of the kill, but says the amount of dead fish is particularly large in Middle Township. New Jersey officials are examining oxygen levels in the water and evidently the U.S. EPA is working on this too. They took samples and examined them for toxic phytoplankton, these tests were “negative”.

it only due to the pollution increasing rapidly in oceans.resulting in the loss of flora and fauna.
There are a lot of things that are happening now that is caused by our own doings. Pollution is greatly affecting our lives now. I think it would be great if the cause will be determined to have solutions to this. And we should also do our part.
