Investigators from Santo Domingo, from the Ministry of the Environment and the UASD University environmental commission, are studying the evidence along the shoreline at Las Garitas Beach where thousands of small and a few large fish were found dead or dying over the last few days. According to Hoy newspaper, some believe that poison was used to kill the fish. Felicita Heredia and Luis Carvajal from the UASD environmental group told reporters that they were worried about the large number of fish that had been affected. Their version of the scene was in marked contrast with early reports that claimed that the fish were the victims of illegal fishing methods. Carvajal praised the concern expressed by the mayor of Sanchez, and said that experts from the Academy of Sciences and the UASD were going to investigate the incident further.
