Millions of Dead Fish in Redondo Beach

Since it’s Ash Wednesday tomorrow which we observe by abstaining from meat, I can’t decide whether to have seafood pasta or fish, then came this breaking news…

Millions dead fish, including anchovies, sardines and mackerel, are apparently floating up to the surface from the ocean floor and washed up in King Harbor near Redondo Beach.

Fish and game officials are still investigating what might have killed the fish. There are initial reports that a red tide, an algae bloom that sucks oxygen out of the water may have killed this large numbers of fish. But officials said they weren’t aware of any red tides, or other issues that could have caused such a massive killing.

 

Mardi Gras, The Real Meaning

When people talk about Mardi Gras, they think of Carnival Celebration with all the glittery costumes, exhuberant dancing and perhaps beads. But the real meaning, in religious point of view, is taken for granted.

Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday” (in ethnic English tradition, Shrove Tuesday), referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which started on Ash Wednesday. Related popular practices were associated with celebrations before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the penitential season of Lent.

While the occasion should be religious in nature, others regard this as a political event to end discrimination, brutal violence and harassment. Mardi Gras is now celebrated in other countries as recognition and protection of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex communities.
