Fish Kill In Middle River Continues To Escalate

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The largest fish kill of the year in Baltimore County continues to escalate. Hundreds of thousands of fish are dead in Middle River. Authorities first said algae was the reason why, but are now expanding their investigation.

Rick Ritter has more from devastated people in that community.

What started as 100,000 dead fish is now closer to 200,000. Some say algae is not the problem.

In pictures, it’s one dead fish after the other. In person, it’s the same story, but even tougher to take in.

“To see something like this just angers the hell out of me. It really does,” said Scott Sewell, conservation director, Maryland Bass Nation.

I think it's the orange donut floats there.

I've never seen that many dead fish without them there.

Conservation Director is angry... maybe his anger is a neurosis he should seek some help. Nature possesses many mysteries that Al Gore has failed to contemplate and include as a part of his scam
