Hundreds of Fish Dead in Gulf Shores
http://www.local15tv.com/news/local/story/UPDATE-Hundreds-of-Fish-Dead-in-Gulf-Shores/xxZmZhzGj0Krb9Wb1141Ig.cspx

(DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala.) - Hundreds of dead fish have washed ashore, and officials are trying to determine what killed them.

The discovery was made around 7 a.m. Saturday on at least a three-mile stretch of beach near the Gulf State Park Pier.

"We usually don't get any around the pier here until sometime in the late summer. Right now they're dead, everybody I talked to got them down on the beach everywhere," Gulf State Park spokesman Charles Kelley said.

The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will test the fish to figure out what killed them.

Oh, I don't know, could it be the dispersants BP used?

3. maybe the latest "oil sheen" that was allegedly "sediment"
I think that slick was 100 mi long or something equally alarming

8. well, that's gonna put a dent in the spring break
fish fry.

I would imagine they'll start washing ashore in Destin, Panama City Beach, Pensecola and the rest of the places that are thoroughly cleaned of

oil.

prickscott will blame the department of fish and game and order them to take piss tests.

btw, I like this part, "Right now they're dead"......................like they're gonna come back to life after a few tequila shots or a cup of redbull and vodka.
