Massive fish die-off in California harbor

Massive fish die-off in King Harbor Marina - Framework - Photos and Video - Visual Storytelling from the Los Angeles Times

I went there today and saw all the dead fish, and the sight was unreal! Very disturbing to say the least.

Most of the floating fish have been cleared, so I mainly saw hundreds of thousands of dead fish in piles on the rocks under the water. As far as the eye could see were dead fish. I've never seen so many fish in my life, let alone dead.

I would hate to be living in a boat docked there right now. The smell didn't bother me too much, but once all those fish start to rot, it's only going to get worse.

Has anyone in the area checked out Kings Harbor yesterday or today?

Also, dammit if my iPhone wasn't dead when I was there. I couldn't get any pictures.

Yeah it happens periodically. I've never seen one this big before though. You can say I'm concerned to say the least.

I remember several months ago there being a similar mass die-off of small fish in a Maryland bay, accompanied by a number of other massive animal death oddities. This is REALLY getting wierd, I have never seen anything like this before.

There have been several mass die offs all over the world recently. It's scary.

I talked to a guy that said the fish entered the harbor, trying to escape the choppy waves out in the ocean, and then panicked, as they could not find a way out, depleting all the oxygen due to the sheer number of fish.

I don't know if this is true or not.

I took a look at a local wharf fish die-off over the winter, the fish were mostly cleared up by the time I drove down. It was completely silent there, not a single bird sang, like a kind of mourning, very eerie.

Climate change is kicking in imo, as we have sown so shall we reap.

on the ranch, we have to borrow bees from the local Honey Farms! (it works out for both parties, of course) if not, our berry yields are pathetic. all the farms do it. the city folk have no idea what's going on out here.

several years ago bees everywhere,... fruit everywhere!
all of a sudden our harvest just flat out sucked.

every February is a mandatory one day class to inform farmers of new pests, molds, and new tech. university professors suggest we get bees and cut back on waterings.

I, too, heard something similar in the news. This is definitely pretty freaky.

Not like this it doesn't. I've lived here for 39 years. I've never seen anything remotely close to the scale of this thing.
