The first fish kill reported to FWRI was April 24, 1972.
All information in the Fish Kill database is current through 01/27/2023.
This report is distributed by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's and Fish and Wildlife Research Institute. These summaries account for fish and wildlife health-related communications received by the Fish and Wildlife Health Group via the statewide Marine Fish Kill Hotline. While every practical step has been taken to make these summaries accurate and informative, reports are summarized and they do not necessary reflect the observations of scientifically trained individuals. Although FWH follows up with each report initiator, FWH is not able to verify every account through direct observation.
