In my earlier post on this, I didn't elaborate that the migrating sauries are trapped there by the causeway which is a dam, and by the colder water to the north. Then the Strait water gets colder and colder at this time of year, and these fishes finally succumb to the cold water temperature, and then the dead fish get piled up along the causeway. As others have said, various fish-eating birds and scavengers like n. gannets, eagles, and gulls then get injured or killed by vehicles and by the combination of high winds and wires along the causeway.
