Margate: Dead starfish likely due to rough seas, says council

The council of Margate has announced that the recent sightings of dead starfish along the coast are likely due to rough seas and strong currents. The council issued a statement urging beachgoers to be cautious and not to disturb any marine life they may come across.

Local marine experts have confirmed that it is not uncommon for rough seas to wash up marine life onto the shore, including starfish. They have assured the public that this is a natural phenomenon and should not cause alarm.

The council is working closely with environmental agencies to monitor the situation and assess any potential impact on the local marine ecosystem. They are also reminding residents and visitors to report any unusual sightings of dead marine life to the authorities.
