Margate: Dead starfish likely due to rough seas, says council

According to the Margate Council, the recent sightings of dead starfish along the coastline are likely due to rough seas. The council has reported that the rough seas could have caused the starfish to be washed up on the shore, leading to their death.

Residents and visitors to Margate have noticed an increase in the number of dead starfish on the beach, prompting concerns about the marine environment. The council has assured the public that they are monitoring the situation closely and will take appropriate action to address any potential threats to marine life.

In the meantime, the council has advised the public to refrain from disturbing or removing any dead starfish they may come across on the beach. It is important to let nature take its course and allow the marine ecosystem to recover naturally.
