정어리 200톤 떼죽음- 일본 지바현의 핏빛 바다

[samok]

세상에서 가슴 아픈 일들이 어디 이뿐이겠습니까마는...

일본 지바현(千葉縣)의 오하라 항구도시에서는

푸른 바다가 핏빛으로 물들고 말았다.

200톤에 달하는 어마어마한 정어리 떼들의

죽은 사체로 인한 끔찍한 소동...

지바현은 롯데 마린스의 본거지로

이승엽 선수가 활동한 곳이기도 합니다.

지바현 마꾸하리 아파 호텔에 머물렀던

생각(2008.8월) 때문에 더 안타깝습니다. 

The sardine apocalypse:

Mystery of 200-ton shoal of dead fish that washed up at port,

turned the sea red and created a HUGE stink

An entire port town in Japan has been left reeking of dead fish

after nearly 200 tons of stinky sardines washed up on its shore.

The massive shoal started washing up at the fishing port of Ohara, on Japan's

west-facing North Pacific Ocean coast, on June 3 and quickly turned the sea red.

Since then the bizarre phenomenon gone has rapidly got out of control.

Mystery: The sardine beach in Japan was turned

blood red after nearly 200 tons of fish turned up

하얗게 죽음으로 부둣가 한 자리를 차지한 정어리 떼의

모습은 자연과 환경 보존의 중요성 일깨우죠... 

There are now so many dead fish that locals in the town in Isumi City,

Chiba Prefecture, are having to truck the rotting remains to landfills.

And yet still more dead sardines keep washing up on shore.

Reports suggested that locals are not only finding the sight disturbing,

but the huge amount of dead fish has created a smell that's becoming unbearable.

Japan's RocketNews24 reported: 'When we inquired with a local inn,

we were told that the port was scheduled to be closed from June 1 to 5,

but given the emergency, local fishermen are currently out

in full force trying to resolve the situation.

'Already, more than two full days into the bizarre occurrence,

the smell has to be almost unbearable, but the people of Ohara still

have no idea when they will be able to get rid of all the sardines.

The fishing port of Ohara, on Japan's west-facing

North Pacific Ocean coast, started being flooded with fish on June 3.

'We sincerely hope they will be able to solve the problem quickly.'

Last year millions of dead fish were found floating in a California harbour after

apparently becoming trapped and expiring due to lack of oxygen, experts said.

The silver-colored fish appeared overnight at King Harbour in Redondo Beach,

where the surface of the water was covered, said officials.

Locals suggested that high winds might have pushed the fish - initially reported

to be anchovies, but later identified as sardines - into the marina south of Los Angeles.

아직도 그 원인을 못 찾고 있는 형편이며

악취로 인한 주민들 고생도 대단합니다. 

자연은 순간 망가지지만 재앙은 그 댓가로

우리에게 돌아온다는 사실을 기억해야죠...
