Possible seismic activity and issues connected to wind turbines are being considered as the probe into sea creatures washing up on Teesside’s beaches continues.
One of the government agencies investigating the occurrence has told Teesside Live both are being looked at as the strange occurrence continues to be scrutinized.
Last week, residents living in Marske reported huge piles of crabs and other crustaceans, both alive and dead, had washed up on the beach between the seaside town and nearby Saltburn.

Creatures were also reported in large numbers further along the beach near Redcar and South Gare and also further north towards Hartlepool.
The Environment Agency, DEFRA and CEFAS – the government’s marine and freshwater science experts – launched an investigation to find out the reasons why after the issue was raised in the House of Commons by Redcar MP Jacob Young.
The results are expected to come through later this week.
The Environment Agency part of the probe is investigating whether pollution might be to blame.
Meanwhile, DEFRA told Teesside Live the Marine Management Organisation is also investigating other possible causes such as seismic activity and wind turbines and investigations are still ongoing. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/seismic-activity-turbines-considered-reason-22033215?fbclid=IwAR3ID24vLN_xLCzJjPuf-WuP0qOxcD5vjunLUPhNe8ZFCRhnenvaNdPuwIY
