New fish kill signals inland pollution releases set Biscayne Bay dead zones, experts say

Local 10 News reported on the unfolding Biscayne Bay fish kill — the worst since 2020, with several thousand fish dead across the northern basin and oxygen levels running even lower than during that August 2020 event that killed 27,000 in five days. Miami Waterkeeper Executive Director Rachel Silverstein pinned the root cause on pollution and warned against delay: “The Bay is literally dying, and every year that it worsens, it’s harder to pull back.”
