Two months ago, hundreds of thousands of yellowtail, many seals and stingrays were washed up along Glinks Gully and Baylys Beach, eyewitnesses said.
The most probable cause could be dumping of toxic chemicals at the sea, the blog Moderators believe.
“There were thousands, at least 30km up. It’s not on, there’s no other excuse. The smell was horrific.” An eyewitness said.
“It’s too much of a coincidence, really strange. Seals and stingrays are not generally known for throwing themselves on the beach.” Marine expert Dr Kendall Clements said.
