Officials say it will take days and cost at least $100,000 to clean up King Harbor after the fish die-off began Monday night. Workers had scooped up 35 tons Wednesday, but 30 tons or more are thought to be on the harbor bottom.A day after waking up to find a silvery carpet of dead fish on the surface of King Harbor, Redondo Beach set about the enormous task of ridding the marina of an estimated 1 million sardine carcasses before they started to decay.
