Massive fish kill in polluted dam

SANTA CLARA, July 4 (Omar Ruiz, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) - Thousands of fish have died in the Tales Díaz dam in Cruces, Cienfuegos province, as a result of pollutants dumped by the Mal Tiempo sugar mill.

Merino Cabrera, a local activist, said local authorities know about the problem and haven’t taken any steps to remedy it.

"These practices, which cause the death of thousands of fish in the dam haven’t worried the local officials," said Cabrera, adding that instead they choose to prosecute local residents who go fishing for something to put on the dinner table.
