Millions of dead fish float to surface at California beach

Millions of dead fish, mainly anchovies, washed up at a harbor near Redondo Beach, Calif., today, preventing many boaters from leaving the area.

Staci Gabrielli, marine coordinator for King Harbor Marina says the fish apparently swam into the harbor to escape a red tide, a naturally occurring event that can poison fish or starve them of oxygen, the Associated Press reports.

Gabrielli says high winds apparently kept the fish from leaving the harbor and they all crushed up against the harbor wall, where they used up the oxygen and suffocated.
