Environmental group San Francisco Baykeeper reported Sunday a harmful algae bloom is killing fish in massive numbers around the bay.
The group said it's seeing sharks, sturgeon and striped bass washing ashore, which they called"highly unusual."
"In other words, we have evidence from locations across South, Central, and San Pablo bays," the group said in a statement."This appears to be a substantial fish kill, most likely related to the unprecedented red tide algal bloom we have been tracking for the past month." "We also have a report of a dead sturgeon on Stinson Beach," Baykeeper said."Dead sturgeon washing ashore is really rare. Not sure if this fish died outside the gate or was transported by tides and currents."
