Thousands of dead eels found on Jersey beach
Thousands of eels have been found dead on a Jersey beach.
The creatures were discovered on St Ouen's beach on Wednesday.
Francis Binney, head of marine resources at Infrastructure and Environment, said it was not a concern for the government.
He said: “The sand eels likely died from deoxygenating or drying out in the sand ripples in the bay with the outgoing tide."
He added: "Although there are large numbers this year, this is not an unusual occurrence.”
