“The species most impacted was Gulf menhaden. Fish kills like this are common in the summer when temperatures increase. If there isn’t enough oxygen in the water, fish can’t ‘breathe.’ Low dissolved oxygen in many cases is a natural occurrence.”

I know that I’m a softy, but this makes me sad. Though the article says that this is a natural occurrence caused by warmer temperatures, they are only going to get worse as the gulf warms due to climate change.
