The Lopes Mendes Beach is considered the 8th most beautiful of the world, and 2nd most beautiful in Brazil.

But on Monday, April 11, 2016, this idyllic place turned into a horror scenario as thousands of swordfish were found dead on the beach sands.

The killing was first attributed to water pollution.

As many of the swordfish had a broken neck, officials however say that the probable cause of this dead fish appearing on this paradisiac beach is overfishing.
