The Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (EIFCA) have been made aware that strong winds have led to several mass strandings of marine fauna along the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts recently. It is important to know that some stranded species, in particular types of starfish, may contain Paralytic shellfish toxins (PST) — toxins that could be harmful to humans and dogs if consumed.
