Thousands of Dead Fish Found in Harbor South of San Diego

Thousands of fish suddenly died and are floated to the surface in Puerto Salinas. Just 40 miles south of San Diego Harbor a tragic finding of literally thousands of fish. Mackerel, Halibut, Sardines, Spotted Bass, and White Sea Bass were all found floating and rotting in the little harbor. There are no answers to why this happened. Sources in the harbor reported catching mackerel the night before and storing them in their boats bait tank for a future fishing trip. The next morning all the fish in the tank were dead, upon further observation they found the horrific finding. Reports that water samples and dead fish taken by the Mexican Government,But, the stench and the bird droppings from thousands of birds are making the little harbor uninhabitable. Efforts by locals to remove the fish, wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow, and burying them in a shallow grave is what appears to be the only solution to removing the fish. People in the harbor think the stench may last for a long time, even if the rotting fish are buried in a shallow hole. No answer or assumptions have been made to why this happened. Some say it could be a spill in the water, others say it is just a freak of Mother Nature. Either way, it will take time for the small harbor to get back to normal.
