Fish Die Offs page 2

A comic featuring  Jasper Danckaerts looking out at a lush ocean scene, then looking out at a fish die off in Staten Island, a shark chaseing a school of manhaden onto the shore, and a school of bunker fish.

These fish die offs are indeed usually caused by high heat and lack of rain. These two contentions cause a low enough oxygen level in our local waterways to cause massive fish die offs. This species of fish is especially susceptible to those condition out of season, such as in the spring of 2020 or the autumn of 1679. This does not get us humans off the hook, as these conditions are becoming more common with the ever increasing effects of the climate crisis.
