- was it some sort of spillage from a ship or somthing?
- millions of fish, bring on some chips!
By Description: Stretches of Sohar’s beach in the Sultanate of Oman were covered Wednesday with a silver coat of dead fish, mostly sardines. People were collecting full baskets of fish brought onshore by the sea. Many of the people said they were collecting the fish to feed their animals while others said they would wash and put the fish to dry in the sun and then eat it. Seagulls were having a feast with thousands of fish floating in the shallow waters of the beach while some fishermen were just looking on the sad scene. Streams of cars and curious youth drove by the beach while dozens of workers had a hard task to clean the sand. Whether an ecological disaster or a reaction from nature it is hard to say, but surely the scene was one of sadness. Sonia Sonia
