More than 20,000 dead sea creatures wash ashore in western Nova Scotia

 Something smells fishy.

The carcasses of more than 20,000 fish, lobsters, starfish, scallops and crabs are littering the shoreline of Canada’s Savory Provincial Park.

“Dead fish found on shore should not be collected by general public,” the fisheries and ocean’s department warned in a tweet. “Consumers should only purchase from licensed harvesters/sellers.”

Are... there dead fish collectors? Is that a thing?

I keep hoping I can catch a fish that would be worthy of starting my own dead fish collection.

Around the great lakes, dead Alewives are sometimes collected to be used as fertilizer.

20,000 isn't that many as these things go.

Alewives die off by the billions in the great lakes some years.

Do they have spawning runs like salmon? Or do they elect bad leaders?

@MajorClay

What does this mean? Do you actually believe there is some sort of link between Fukushima and this? Or are you being facetious?

I blame tightly packed public schools.
