HAVERSTRAW, N.Y. – A local photographer who was taking photos at the Haverstraw Bay Park was shocked when he discovered hundreds of dead fish washed up on the shore of the pond.

Owen Cramsie, a local photographer and environmentalist said ” I’ve been coming to the Haverstraw Bay Park for a very long time, and I have never witnessed anything on this scale.” Cramsie has taken it upon himself to preserving the bucolic feel of the park. He has spent many hours cleaning up trash to ensure the safety of the animals and the beauty of the park.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is currently investigating the cause of death for hundreds of fish in Haverstraw Bay Park. We will update this article as more information is provided from the NYS DEC.

UPDATE – 1:00 PM

NYS DEC officials investigated the pond and preliminary results reveal that a lack of oxygen from all the plant life with the combination of the heat may have caused this problem. We will be monitoring the situation and will provide an update in the coming days.
