Fish Beaching Jubilee in North Carolina?
 We've heard of Alabama's Jubilee before, but it appears this unusual phenomenon paid a visit to North Carolina last week. Thousands of flounder, spot, and pinfish swam into extremely shallow water near Jacksonville, NC and began to beach themselves. Fish were so docile that they could be handled before they would respond. A few hours later the massive school of fish swam back out into deeper waters and only a few fish died in the ordeal. Officials from the Division of Water Quality, NC Marine Fisheries, and NC Marine Patrol found extremely low levels of oxygen in the water during the event but immediately after oxygen levels returned to normal. More on this unusual phenomenon in NC is available from MSNBC.
