Officials in a Florida town have reported a mass fish die-off, attributing the cause to an "unusual number" of fish suffocating underwater. The primary culprit is believed to be excessive fertilizer runoff, which depletes oxygen levels in the water, making it impossible for fish to breathe. This incident highlights the detrimental environmental impact of agricultural practices and the importance of responsible fertilizer management.
