Authorities investigate Greenough fish kill

The Department of Water and Environment are taking samples from some of the hundreds of fish which were found dead in the Greenough River. The fish lined the sides of the river at Cape Burney on the weekend. The fish were spread over a section of the river a few hundred metres from the top of the rivermouth. Many fish lay lifeless just under the surface. A DWE spokesperson said they expected to make an announcement “in the next day or two.” “We’re taking samples as we normally do,” he said.
