Thousands of dead fish were spilled in Hampton Roads waters Tuesday morning and are washing up on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.

According to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, a menhaden vessel owned by Ocean Harvesters of Reedville spilled several thousand menhaden near Silver Beach on the Eastern Shore.

As a result of winds and tides, fish were reported washing ashore by the morning of Wednesday, July 6.

Ocean Harvesters has reportedly mobilized equipment to the area to begin the process of removing fish from the beaches.
