Sardines anyone?
An estimated ONE MILLION fish turned up dead Tuesday in a Southern
California marina.
Biologists say the mass death was caused by choking on low-oxygen water.
This created a floating feast for pelicans, gulls and other sea life and a stinky mess for harbor authorities to clean.
We think this is a good opportunity to take a page from Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and make "Sardine Land."

Uh-oh…
We thought all this animal mass death hoopla was over and done with, but alas, there's more!
Thousands of dead fish washed ashore a Florida state park beach on Friday.
This time, however, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have given a logical explanation for the deadly occurrence.
Biologists believe a lack of oxygen resulted in the deaths of thousands of menhaden fish at Sebastian Inlet State Park.
In fact, to put us a little more at ease, officials say this type of fish is especially prone to dying from a lack of oxygen when they swim closer to shore in such large numbers.
Phew! Not a sign of the apocalypse then!
Check out the news story above for all of the details on the most recent incident in a string of fishy deaths.

While busy filming her new reality show for Oxygen Paris couldn't bear to leave Peter Pan at home.
