The National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) and the Marine Police are now trying to determine the cause of a fish kill in the Kingston Harbour.

Dozens of dead fish washed up on the shore in the vicinity of the Harbour View roundabout, near the cement company at Rockfort, and other neighbouring areas yesterday morning.

The manager of public education at the NEPA, Natalie Fearon, told The Sunday Gleaner that the cause of the fish kill was not yet known. NEPA also cautioned persons against eating the fish.
