Wickford Fish kill
Just got this email from Save the Bay. Not an expert by any means, but I disagree with their assesment. Bunker are not the smartest creatures in the world and faced with hungry bluefish or boat traffic, they moved into areas of low oxygen. I dont think this reflects the health of the bay at all, its normal for low water, in tidal areas far from the open water to be low in oxygen. I grew up in CT and it was routine to see hundreds of bunker dead at low tide due. Just my 2 cents but I think save the bay is making an issue out of something that is normal.
email:
On the 5th anniversary of the horrific 2003 Greenwich Bay fish and clam kill, more bad news surfaced today as Save The Bay responded to a fish kill in Wickford Cove. We found approximately 1,000 dead adult menhaden in what appears to be another clear sign that Bay conditions continue to deteriorate. John Torgan has a video report from the scene.
