HUNDREDS OF DEAD FISH IN DARKWOOD POND

Hundreds of dead fish are floating in Darkwood pond and saturating its banks.
Environment Officer at Department of the Environment Daryl George says the Department has been notified and an investigation will begin as soon as next week.
This isn’t the first time Darkwood Pond has seen this occurrence. It happened in June of 2019. George says it’s due to low oxygen levels in the pond water. He says this happens when there’s an increase in algae bloom and heavy rain stirs up the water.
Chief Health Inspector at the Central Board of Health Sharon Martin says once clearance is given by Department of the Environment, a clean-up of the area will begin.
