SPERM WHALES BEACH IN THE NORTH SEA

29 Sperm Whales Washed Ashore by Strong Wind-Driven Currents Introduction Whale scientists said, "The animals inadvertently consume plastic and plastic waste, which causes them to suffer and starve with full stomachs." ( link ) They blame the stranding on the garbage floating on the oceans. Think about it! How can a pod of majestic sperm whales using the most advanced biosonar system in the world to locate the squid they eat in the total darkness 5,000 meters below the surface might "inadvertently" identify plastic and ropes and other garbage as food? The truth is that these sperm whales had been suffering biosonar failure ever since they were injured by rapid and excessive pressure changes above the epicenter of an undersea earthquake (aka. seaquake). The injury is barotraumatic in nature and mainly affects the enclosed cranial air spaces. Seaquakes are sudden disturbances in hydrostatic pressure caused by an underwater volcanic explosion o...

Seaquake Cause 23 Dolphins to Strand on Baja California Beach

(Monday, 07 December 2015) Mexican environmental authorities say they were able to lead seven beached dolphins back to sea but 16 others died. Twenty-one were pelagic rough-toothed dolphins and two were common dolphins ( link ). The mass beaching occurred at San Lazaro Beach on the Pacific coast along 1.2 kilometers (0.75 miles) of beach.  We do not know the exactly location of this beach because there is no such beach listed on the Internet or on Goggle maps. What we really need is the exact time of the beaching, local winds and tides, and the location of the beach. This is rarely provided by the media making our job difficult. If you know where this beach is, please send us the lat/long numbers so we can better plot the flow of the surface current. As the story goes, local fishermen and coastal watch activists "helped save 7 of the dolphins" despite strong wind and waves. Obviously the strong wind and waves were washing ashore, not washing back out to sea. An even...
