Thousands of dead fish found in Playa Dorada golf course lagoon
Puerto Plata.- Thousands of fish were found dead in the lagoon of the Golf Course of the Playa Dorada Tourist Project, which has immediately brought CODOPESCA Director to the site.
Román Tolentino Acosta, Director of CODOPESCA of this province indicated that they received complaints that since this morning the fish were dying in the lagoon of the tourist project, in the afternoon he came to the place to verify the death of thousands of species, and they immediately took samples of the water and sent them to Santo Domingo to carry out a Microbiological study to determine the causes.
Tolentino Acosta warned that once the results are obtained, the responsible will be found. They will not allow different species, such as turtles, crabs and fish etc. to be damaged.
It is presumed that the death of marine species is due to chemicals poured into the lagoon, so now it’s being investigated whether any hotel or private facility may be pouring its wastewaters into the lagoon.
