Wrightsville Beach Menhaden Clean Up Slow
 After the massive fish kill earlier this week that left millions of dead menhaden on the shore at Wrightsville Beach, city officials have been trying to push forward with clean up efforts as quickly as possible. You can imagine that millions of dead menhaden wouldn't smell like a field of wildflowers, but apparently the scene was so overwhelming and smelled so foul that it was drawing tourists. The Wrightsville Planning and Parks Department has been using front end loaders to remove the menhaden, but the cleanup efforts have been hampered by additional environmental concerns over protecting bird nesting areas. There is still no word from the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries on the ultimate cause of the fish kill. More on the clean up efforts are available in this article from WWAY.
