THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY WHALES MASS STRAND

KILLER QUAKE STRIKES AGAIN:   Kills Two Killer Whales in the Same Area  As noted in the news clip above, shock waves from a seaquake off Cape Beal on the west coast of Vancouver Island killed 5 baleen whales in June 1946 ( link ). The big deal back in those days was that the fishermen were towing all 5 whales 500 miles to a rendering station on the East Coast of Queen Charlotte Island. It was their lucky day. What's so different about 2016? Today when whales are killed by seaquakes off Vancouver Island, the authorities deny that these events can even scare them; killing them is out of the question. Isn't that strange? Why would they recognize that seaquakes could kill whales in 1946 but deny it today? The reason is very simple. Shock waves from seaquakes cause barosinusitis (sinus barotrauma that can easily kill marine mammals and fish outright). This is the exact same injury caused by high-powered sonars, oil industry air cannons, and underwater explosives. I

On Tuesday, 11 February 2014, nine orcas (killer) whales swam into the rocky shore inside Te Waewae Bay, South Island New Zealand In my opinion, formed after 50 years of trying to understand mass beachings, the biosonar system these orcas use to echonavigate was disabled by sinus barotrauma induced by disturbances in the surrounding water pressure generated above the epicenter of an extremely shallow earthquake off the west coast of South Island. The quake occurred at  8:54 pm local time on January 28th, 2014. The European-Mediterranean Seismology Group listed this event at 4.7 magnitude , focused only 2 kilometers below the ocean's surface . Other seismic stations reported this quake at 5+ mag. New Zealand GeoNet reported it as a strong earthquake at 5.4 magnitude; however, they listed the depth at 33 km, which is the standard default depth used by GeoNet for submarine earthquakes. As you can see at the bottom of GeoNet's page, most reporting stations indicated a depth
