It was raining fish in this Northern California county, ABC7's sister station spoke to some experts to see why this is happening. Here's what they had to say.
MARIN COUNTY, Calif. -- The Bolinas Lagoon shore in Northern California's Marin County was seemingly painted silver by a school of anchovy.
He said this possibly pushed the anchovy more toward the shallow water, where they sucked up the limited oxygen and suffocated. Ervin told KGO, this La Nina year is generating more food production and the foraging fish are following. He explained the cool water is bringing in more anchovy than we've seen in the last 10 years off our coast and in the Bay.
"My biggest words of assurance, I guess, is that anchovy populations boom and bust," Ervin shared."And we're in a boom year. Then things like that, they drive 'em into the shore and unfortunately they do themselves in sometimes."
