I=E2=80=99m not sure if this is a common/natural = occurrence in this area or if it has been previously reported. A quick search of the Internet does bring up some info indicating that = a parasite has caused similar die-offs on the west coast. The photos can be seen at this link http://www.flickr.com/photos/33706397@N03/sets/72157630586799158/ The remains were spread across several hundred meters of coast and = appeared to have washed up over several tide cycles.
