5 Dolphins found dead during past 2 weeks off Beaufort County, S.Carolina, America
Five dolphins have been found dead in Beaufort County since March17, The Beaufort Gazette reported.
Wayne McFee of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said one was found this weekend on Hilton Head Island and the other at Port Royal.
Employees from the South Carolina Marine Mammal Stranding Network were retrieving the animals Monday.
A bottlenose dolphin washed ashore March 17 on Hilton Head Island and died before marine biologists could reach it. That was an older male, and had a heart condition and probable pneumonia.
The second was spotted March 20 in the May River in Bluffton.
The third was in Fripp Inlet on March 22. It washed out to sea and biologists were unable to recover it, McFee said.
McFee said it is too early to tell if the dolphins had viruses or other diseases.
The cold and changing weather in the last few months could also be related to the deaths, he said.
Thousands of dead fish wash up along a canal in Illinois, America
A walk along the peaceful bike path off the Hennepin Canal in Milan, Illinois looks like something out of a horror film.
Thousands of dead fish have washed up on shore as of Sunday, March 30, 2014.
Believe it or not, Iowa Department of Natural Resources Conservation Officer Jeff Harrison says it’s normal.
“This happens after every winter. When we have so many days with cold temperatures, the snow covers the ice on these ponds and rivers. Sunlight then can’t penetrate into the water. That means oxygen is lacking for fish in the water,” Harrison said.
But Milan residents like Marilyn Lang say they have never seen anything like it before.
“We were just walking along the shoreline and we just seen all of these dead fish. I don’t know why they’re dead,” Lang said as she pointed to a pile of dead fish floating in the water.
Lang and her friend Matreka Nache, of East Moline, had planned a quiet day of fishing along the canal. But, between the stench of dead fish and the sheer sight of thousands of fish floating belly up, their plans quickly changed.
“We were walking just under the bridge when we noticed this,” Nache said as she pointed at a huge fish floating off the shore. A dead American paddlefish was pulled out of the water. At nearly five feet long, it’s a rare sight in the Hennepin Canal.
“I have never seen one of these in the canal,” said local fisherman Pat Bundy.
It’s just another sign that, on this day, winter snagged the big catch.

Hundreds of dead fish continue to wash ashore in La Brea, Trinidad and Tobago
As hundreds of dead fish continue to wash ashore along the La Brea coastline, residents of Coffee Beach have started complaining about suffering bouts of nausea and diarrhoea which they associate with the stench of rotted fish.
Residents say the dead fish — comprising mainly mullet, cavalli and other assorted fish — began washing ashore at the Coffee, Point Sable and Carrat Shed beaches about three weeks ago.
The problem was dramatically highlighted when environmental activist Gary Aboud and representatives from several fishing associations visited the St Clair offices of the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) bearing a quantity of dead fish and a dead pelican for testing .
The group also attempted to hand deliver a letter to EMA chairman Allan Bachan but were not allowed to enter the Authority’s compound.
When Sunday Newsday visited Coffee Beach yesterday, the stench of rotting fish which littered the sandy shoreline, permeated the atmosphere. Some of the dead fish had already been picked clean by vultures leaving only the head, tail and middle bone of the fish visible in the brown sand.
According to Coffee Beach resident, Anika Goodridge, the fish kill was the latest disaster to take place along the beach which was the site of a massive oil spill on December 17, 2013.
“Fish are coming ashore every day,” Goodridge said, “today I clear out a lot in my backyard, the smell is disgusting, and I have two babies so that is why I clear it out to kinda ease up de scent.”
Asked what effect the dead fish was having on her family, she said:
“Diarrhoea, me and my kids. The scent is always inside, always and you have to use air freshener or whatever you can find or just hope the sun doesn’t come out too hot because that is when the scent does really be unbearable.”
Goodridge said the last time residents had seen representatives from Petrotrin on the beach was over one month ago when they had informed the residents that the ambulance service had been halted following the closure of cleanup activities at the beach.
“We don’t see nothing, no people coming to see about the problem so we have to deal with the problem our self,” she added.
One fisherman, who requested anonymity, said the dead fish were usually washed ashore during high tide and were only visible at low tide.
“This thing preventing we from going back to fish because it not safe,” he said, alleging that the chemicals used during the oil-spill clean up were “so powerful that residents were also careful about going swimming in the sea.
“You could get a serious rash from this thing and we as fisherman suffering because no-one is saying if it is safe to go back into the water,”he said.
In a media release on Friday evening, Petrotrin said a team has been set up to investigate the cause of the fish kill and that samples of the dead fish had been sent to the UWI Veterinary School for testing and analysis.
“In the interest of transparency, Petrotrin had contracted an independent certified laboratory to conduct Water and Sediment Quality testing in La Brea Beaches,” the release said.
The area under study includes beaches in La Brea from Station Beach south along the coastline to Point Sable moving northward, up to the River Neg; and up to 2 kilometres seawards from the shoreline of each location,” Petrotrin said.
“Results of the water and sediment quality study showed that all parameters tested to date were within acceptable limits for heavy metals, temperature, PH levels, salinity, Dissolved Oxygen and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH).
“Based on the environmental monitoring reports, there are no contaminants identified (including hydrocarbons) in the marine and nearshore environments of La Brea,” Petrotrin said.
The company said it has contracted the independent laboratory to conduct a fish bioassay (autopsy) at the La Brea Beaches and that fish samples have been sent to an International Laboratory in the USA, one of the leading experts in forensic fish analysis.”
“We understand the concerns of the community and continue to monitor and evaluate the situation,” the company said.

Fish dying off, ‘some of them bleeding’ in a river in Divinopolis, Brazil
Post Divinópolis the Itapecerica River has attracted the eyes of the population and biologists. However, this time the reason is not the beauty of the waters or species diversity, but the dead fish that have appeared since Monday (24). The situation worsened and the Military Police of the Environment (PMA) recorded the second police report (BO). According to police, the BO will be forwarded to agencies that can do the analysis of water, dead animals and indicate a possible solution to the problem.
According to biologist Marcio Ferreira Cleib, fingerlings, fish puppies are the ones that have suffered. Whole shoals upriver try and agonize in search of oxygen, some bleed. “Everything indicates that there is some kind of fungus that has caused injuries,” commented. The biologist also explained that the oxygen level is low because of the amount of nutrients from sewage dumped in the river. “The lack of rain is a problem for other fish,” he added.
The mototaxi driver Flavio Lima photographed not only the dead animals, but other recent problems. He recorded the water hyacinth which proliferated in the river and a white foam appeared on the surface of Itapecerica. He says it will withdraw from the neglect of the authorities. “If no one does anything without water we will stay up,” he complained.
Anyone following the longest river is also outraged. John Paul retired from God, who lives near the river for 53 years, said that the heart actually hurts to see the dead fish. “I’ve swam in Itapecerica. Previously we also saw fish, but live, up the bed, now I only see garbage, “he said.
