sees Posted December 19, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I wonder if the causes are the same ones as for beached whales (of which there are several possible ones)? Hope none of the fish went to waste! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamthemanfromNantucket Posted December 19, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 19, 2016 McDonald's scooped them all up and are going to make a new Artisan fish sandwich out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ouija ouija Posted December 30, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The last time we had that problem it was proved to be a nearby Naval exercise. The sonar confused them. It took years and years to get the Navy to admit they were the cause. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted December 30, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Quote The mystery of why hundreds of thousands of fish were found washed up on a Cornish beach over the weekend has been solved: they were dumped by a fishing vessel that caught too many sardines in shallow water. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/dec/19/mystery-solved-dead-fish-cornwall-marazion-beach-trawler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no words ... that is beyond mind boggling with the stupidity ... I hope they get the shipping vessel impounded and sunk to make artificial corals and a fish sanctuary ... ~ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trawling hasn't helped anyone, quotas haven't helped anyone...because it doesn't do any good to throw fish back if they're already dead. The fact is that there aren't rich fishing waters anymore. And it's only gonna get worse. The environment is ******, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. The resource wars have begun, and everyone is becoming insular.
