Kevin et al,

WOW, I've never seen anything quite like this!!  Interesting that we =
walked up and down the adjacent beach (Hirtle's) on our way to Gaff =
Point as part of a Nature Conservancy work party to carry out some =
remediation work on the loop trail which was very wet (despite the =
current dry spell), and saw nothing of this sort of phenomenon.  Must =
have been very localized...?
In any case, thanks for sharing!

  Subject: [NatureNS] Krill die-off


  I have uploaded a series of photos of a Krill die-off that I found in =
Kingsburg this morning. I=E2=80=99m not sure if this is a common/natural =
occurrence in this area or if it has been previously reported.

  A quick search of the Internet does bring up some info indicating that =
a parasite has caused similar die-offs on the west coast.

  The photos can be seen at this link

  The remains were spread across several hundred meters of coast and =
appeared to have washed up over several tide cycles.
