Visitors to Saltburn-by-the-Sea came across hundreds of thousands of dead mussels on the shoreline, along with starfish - some of which were barely moving - crabs and razor clams.
Thousands of dead and dying shellfish have washed up on a beach in North Yorkshire.
Stuart Marshall, 58, who owns the colourful beach huts on the promenade, launched a clean-up on the sands.He said a large deposit of black debris on the beach - which some said was sea coal - had just arrived on the tide and was not normally present. He also questioned the possible explanation that rough seas had killed the creatures, saying the waters had been calm lately.The Environment Agency said its experts had concluded the wash-up was"a natural event" and"normal for this time of year"."We can confirm the black substance washed up on the beach is coal deposit, which is not unusual for this stretch of coastline.
