Scientists work to unravel the cause of the fish spinning phenomenon in the Florida Keys.
Between late 2023 and the spring of 2024 more than 80 species of fish were observed spinning in the Florida Keys. While most were able to recover, a large number of endangered smalltooth sawfish died. A group of multidisciplinary scientists is trying to piece together what happened in the environment to cause this unusual phenomenon.
