Fish Kill...

One of the first articles that I decided to read was "Major Fish Kill in Branford River" written by Marcia Chambers. this article informed the readers about the recent news about the dead fish in the branford river. it describes to the reader where and when it took place, also that a similar fish kill happened a few years earlier. the writer tell us about the possable reasons of why this fish kill could have taken place. some reasons being that the fish were pushed into a smaller area by larger fish which would cause the fish to die from lack of oxygen. also that the possably could have died from the pollution that is being dumped into the branford river from various companys along the river. the writter then goes on to talk about the Alantic Wire company that is belived to have a major cause in the pollution of the river.

From reading this article i have felt more knowagable about something that has happened in our town. suprisingly, the branford river has come up in conversation alot in the past few days. at work, many people talk to me about fishing. unfortunalty, i don't know very much about fishing but i was able to join in the conversation with them because they were talking about the fish kill. i was able to imform them about the article i have read and told them what i learned from the article. i was also able to talk to another man about this fish issue and i learned something from him. he told me that about 15 years ago, on branford point, he witnessed hundreds and hundreds of bunkers get pushed up onto the beach by bluefish, and that all the fishermen were running into the water trying to catch the bluefish. because of this article i was able to have some great conversations.
