Thousands of dead fish wash up on Folly Beach



By Amanda Click

In an as-of-yet unexplained phenomena much like the one that took place in Arkansas earlier this week, thousands of dead fish have washed up on the shore of Folly Beach.

Early reports are saying the fish likely died as a result of the cold water, but to be sure, SCDNR crews are out on Folly Beach collecting samples.

According to the brief in The Post and Courier, "From the Folly Beach pier, there is a line of dead fish as far as one can see in both directions."

All of the fish that have washed up appear to be Menhaden.

We'll keep you updated on this major fish kill as more information becomes available.
