Mass Fish Die-Off Blankets Matalascañas Beach

Matalascañas, Spain – Residents and visitors to Matalascañas beach were met with a startling sight recently as thousands of small, dead fish, primarily anchovies, blanketed the shoreline. The extensive accumulation of fish stretched for considerable distances, raising concerns among onlookers. A video filmed by a local resident captured the scale of the event, showing vast stretches of sand and shallow pools covered with the deceased marine life. The filmer expressed shock at the sheer number, describing the beach as "packed" with fish. The cause of this mass die-off remains unconfirmed. Speculation among those present and online commenters ranges from natural phenomena, such as fish becoming trapped in temporary pools during low tide, to human factors, including the possibility of discarded bycatch from fishing vessels. Some have also suggested broader environmental factors or even unusual marine activity. Authorities have not yet released an official statement regarding the incident.
