"A massive fish kill at the 38 mile long Dunkard Creek on the West Virginia–Pennsylvania border has scientists and regulators wondering what went wrong.

It's the first time golden algae has appeared in the northern part of the country and ...there are fears the invasive will spread to other watersheds."
