Why are fish dying in Prospect Park Lake?

Fish are dying because the park keepers are putting too much fertilizer on the grass that then runs off into the water.

Fish are dying because the water comes from NYC tap water, which has added
phosphorus to prevent lead from lead pipes from leaching into the tap water.

Fish are dying because there is human waste in Prospect Park lake.
