Small fish are appearing on the beaches of Puerto Colombia, Atlántico, some point out that it is a phenomenon caused by the intervention of man in nature.

Vanexa Romero/The Time

However, fishermen in the area assert that it is a natural phenomenon that is repeated year after year around this time.

The high tide drags the fish and stagnates them to a point on the beach from which they cannot return to the sea. Therefore, they die in the arena.

Vanexa Romero/The Time

Thousands of fish suffer from this trap of nature, generating concern in some citizens of Puerto Colombia, Atlántico.

Meanwhile, this situation is used by seabirds to feed. Different species come to the beaches for this.

Vanexa Romero/The Time

Among these species, we find the herons, which always arrive just when the fish are dragged to shore by the force of the sea.

Other birds come to eat, however, they try to do so away from the herons.

The mulatto Marías also appear on the scene and fight for their food, even with other birds of their species.

Vanexa Romero/The Time

For their part, some citizens come to capture the fish in bottles to return them to the sea, they do this in condescension with the animals while the phenomenon is clarified.

The animals are stuck on the beach by the force of the sea in this municipality of the Atlantic.
