A video circulating on social media this morning shows hundreds of dead fish washed up on Porthgwidden Beach in St Ives, Cornwall.

The mass stranding was spotted yesterday morning, yet the cause remains unclear.

Commenters on Facebook suggest that the fish could have been killed by sewage being pumped onto the coastline, or were pushed ashore by dolphins.

In October 2021, thousands of crabs and lobsters washed up dead along the coast in the North East, and the cause of it is still being speculated.
