An indy-panel has ruled that a brand-new disease is the most likely cause of mass sea creature deaths across North East shores from 2021, in a new report.
The report, by the Crustacean Mortality Expert Panel, cleared the likes of pyridine or dredging from causing the deaths, saying it is very unlikely.
Meanwhile an algal bloom was also considered to be unlikely, as it failed to explain the twitching or length of the die-off. However, the panel admitted that it could not be ruled out as a causative factor.
