Thousands of mackerel have been found dead in the water near Kawau Island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. There's something fishy going on in the Hauraki Gulf – thousands of dead mackerel were found floating in the sea near an island beach. Wendy Morrell – steward of the Twitter account 'Adventures of Mr Muppet and first mate, Oscar' – documented the curious event while sailing near Auckland's Kawau Island on Thursday. The biblical scene got "weirder and weirder" as she got closer to the shore near Bostaquet Bay. "Nothing was feeding on them in the sea; no sharks, no seals, no birds," Morrell said.
