Several dead dolphins wash ashore in Anapa, Russia
On the shore of Anapa, several dead dolphins were thrown out. According to experts, the reason for this was a strong storm. The inhabitants of Anapa who discovered them told us that what they saw shocked them.
It was reported that several bodies of dead dolphins were thrown out by the sea wave on the coast of Anapa. The animals were discovered by local residents who immediately summoned specialists. Scientists picked up the bodies and studied the shore. A little later they voiced their version of what happened.
They said that this is not the first time this year they have recorded such cases. For 2 months 68 dolphins have already died. In their opinion, this is due to natural phenomena. Here and this time this happened right after the storm. Scientists believe that during marine excitement, these animals lose the ability to orient themselves in the water. Some of them begin to sail to the shore, believing that they, on the contrary, are saved and go to deeper water areas. Approaching the shore, they are simply injured and die in shallow water. Scientists noted that this may happen during an earthquake. However, they did not exclude environmental factors. They noted that this happens much more rarely on the Abkhazian coast, since there are much fewer production facilities there.

Hundreds of dead fish wash ashore in Prince Edward Island, Canada
Islanders may have noticed dead fish washing up on beaches but it isn’t anything to be alarmed about.
Parks Canada says the dead gaspereau that have been showing up this spring died from natural causes.
Brad Romaniuk, the Resource Conservation Manager with Parks Canada on P.E.I., said several calls from the public have come in this year reporting anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred dead fish.
He said it’s a common occurrence at this time of year, when the fish return to the ocean after spawning in freshwater streams.
“You know they’re at the end of their life-cycle to begin with after they’ve spawned,” he said.
“Once they leave the freshwater and enter back into the saltwater environment, many times some of them will die mostly because of the sudden change in water temperature.”
Romaniuk said that Parks Canada has received more reports than last year.
He said that it could be because more people are out on the beaches, or that the temperature difference between the ocean and freshwater streams is greater than years past.
He added that the dead fish become a food source for animals in the area, such as nesting bald eagles.
“It’s that sort of the circle of events that the gaspereau goes through.”

Thousands of fish and shrimp die off in a river in Guerrero, Mexico
State and federal authorities are investigating a die-off of thousands of fish and shrimp reported by people living near the Omitlán River in the Guerrero municipality of Juan R. Escudero.
Specialists have taken water samples and tissue samples from the fish to determine the cause of the die-off, which residents say has been occurring at this time of year for about seven years.
Escudero Mayor Leonel Leyva Muñoz advised residents to avoid consuming fish and shrimp from that part of the river until the causes of their death can be determined
However, some residents, normally dedicated to fishing, had already retrieved several fish that were still alive and sold them in the municipal market.
The newspaper Milenio reported that some people suspect that the die-off of fish and other wildlife was caused by pollutants spilled at the hydroelectric power generation station located upriver in Carolina, a town in the municipality of Quechultenango.
