BREAKING NEWS!!!

SPECIAL REPORT!

Large numbers of dying fish have been reported in the Gray Bay!

Large numbers of dying fish have been reported in the Gray Area! Main Suspects have been questioned and the main sources of water have been tested for evidence. So far only some have been proven to be responsible for the dying fish, some doing it just for more money. But we think that one main suspect could be the hunters in the area like Elmo Skeeto because of the number of deer in Parallel Park has been booming which can cause massive erosion causing more dying fish.

Most of the fish investigated had clamped fins which indicates that they died from too little oxygen.

Information leaked that 21 of the fish tested died from too little oxygen. The highest amount of fish that have died from one cause out of the 50 that were tested. Too much deer grazing could cause massive amounts of erosion to spill into nearby rivers such as the Missterssippi River and the erosion causes more sunlight in the rivers depleting the oxygen levels in the water killing the fish in the water. Most of the deer's predator the mountain lion has been killed off allowing the deer to overpopulate causing erosion and killing fish.

The Missterssippi river is warmer than it was a couple years ago.

More sediment means more heat which means more dead fish. Parallel Park would cause lots of erosion because of the overpopulating deer. Parallel Park is very close to the Missterssippi. Which makes it a prime suspect of the dying fish.

Parallel Park is the closest thing to the Missterssippi River that can cause erosion.

The closest thing the Missterssippi River that can cause erosion besides Parallel Park would be the clear cut forest but barely any of the soil could get into the Missterssippi. There are mountains between the clear cut forest and the Missterssippi River. Only winds could carry the soil past the mountains into the Missterssippi river. But they would have to be very very powerful winds to do that. There is no evidence showing that there was sediment in the river that came from the clear cut forest.

The main suspects are hunters in the area like Elmo Skeeto.

They are responsible for many of the dying fish because they have killed off most of the mountain lions allowing deer to overpopulate and cause massive erosion to happen. The Missterssippi is more warmer than it was a couple of years ago. This is secondary evidence that proves that the hunters have allowed deer to overpopulate and caused the Missterssippi to become warmer.  Finally it is because Parallel Park is the closest source for sediment to come pouring into the Missterssippi. The clear cut forest is too far away and is blocked by mountain for too much of its sediment to come through and affect the Missterssippi too much. I say we should limit the hunting or stop it if we want to prevent more fish dying. Thank You.
