THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY WHALES MASS STRAND

NOAA Whale Scientists Doing Whale Survey Whale scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are doing a survey to find answers for why 30 dead whales washed up on Alaska's coasts over the last six months . Normally only about 20 wash up so they are calling the matter an unusual mortality event so they can legally open an investigation to supposedly uncover the cause. On July 19, NOAA loaded their new luxury cruise ship, the Reuben Lasker,  with whale experts and other executives and head up to Alaska on trip of lifetime at taxpayer expense. ( link ) As an excuse for the trip, NOAA Fisheries scientists say that are very concerned about the large number of whales stranding in the western Gulf of Alaska in the last 6 months. A NOAA Fisheries' coordinator said in the release, "While we do not yet know the cause of these strandings, our investigations will give us important information on the health of whales and the ecosystems where th...

As to the recent West Coast incident, here's a link with the latest scientific opinions ( link ) about why the dead baleen whales are stranding. Marine Fisheries Services biologist Justin Viezbicke, coordinator of NOAA's West Coast Stranding Network, said "the appearance of higher than usual numbers may be a function of a strong onshore current and wind conditions bringing ashore whales that otherwise would decompose in the ocean."    The above correct statement was supported by  Mary Jane Schramm, who said, "One of the reasons we are seeing such a cluster at one time is we have very strong winds that have been blowing consistently washing things onto shore.” ( link ) These t...
