I was walking around the water at Altona last night and the amount of dead and dying fish was amazing. Not the best place for a dip right now.

The EPA were on the news last night saying that it was due to the amount of 'fresh water' that flooded into the bays.....mmmm sounds a bit fishy to me!

Yeah amount of fresh water. Fresh water with other stuff in it more like it. We have had more rain than that without the kills in the past.
I almost thought it was a netters bycatch untill i saw fish that was worth alot of money when netted floating about, different species too. To me that sorta rules out the "fresh water" excuse.

The aftermath of all of this is that there is a fresh layer of black slime on most of the intertidal area. My depower rope and bar looks like it was chewed on by a golgothan excremental!

Greetings from Altona!
