A Road To Avoid

FishKill-1

Actually, it isn’t a road at all.  It’s the photo of an estuary South of New Orleans. It was taken by a Plaquemine Parish employee to document a fish kill. 

The brackish water of the estuary is normally the breeding ground for lots of fish, crabs, etc. but a blocked outlet, along with several days of high temperatures depleted the oxygen, causing thousands of fingerlings to die.
