Comments of the Week: Fish Talk

Discussion surrounding the massive sardine die-off next door in Redondo Beach continues, and Mira Costa's Model United Nations team brings home 1st Place.

Here are some of the reader comments we received this week.

Sardine Die-Off

Even though the dead sardines in neighboring Redondo Beach's King Harbor Marina , Patch readers continued this week to debate what caused the disaster.

• The jury is still out on 'why' they came into the Harbor in the first place. In Japan, it's a common occurrence that large amounts of small fish die off, always just before a temblor. They even have a name for them over there: 'Earthquake Fish.' - wrote 
• Note that toxic algae in great quantities are largely related to human activities near the ocean. These are not typically 'natural' events at this scale. - wrote
