PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C.-- For the second time in a week, tens of thousands of dead fish have washed ashore on a South Carolina beach.

Police say that on Tuesday, around 30,000 to 40,000 menhaden fish washed up on the south end of Pawleys Island. Just last week, the same thing happened when hundreds of thousands of the same fish washed up on the shore near Masonboro Island, N.C.

According to reports, the DNR has ruled out low dissolved oxygen, algal bloom or cold temperatures as the cause of the incident.
