What you saw yesterday at Sweetgum was nothing compared to about 9 days ago. There were literally hundreds of dead fish lining the banks of the ponds, with a commensurate number of vultures bellying up to the buffet. The strange thing is that there was not a similar issue at either Mangrove, or Palmetto, which are both right next to Sweetgum. Perhaps the runoff from the heavy rains picked up some hazardous chemicals along the way to the ponds there.
