" Keep an eye out for stranded dolphins, urge scientists"
SUMMARY
(...)British beaches are usually the focus of strandings of dolphins, porpoises and whales. The figures indicate that this event has grown in recent years, this can be seen with the data delivered by the CSIP, which recorded 9494 stranding on British shores since 1990. A fact which shows the increase in strandings in this area is that in the first 10 years of the institution, the number of strandings per year was 300 to 400 per year since 2000, the minimum number falls to 500 animals year, peaking in 2003 with nearly 800 animals stranded.
There are many causes that could explain strandings but, according to autopsy say that animals have died in natural conditions, but one aspect that affects and substantially increased the death of these animals are the gas and oil residues that are deposited in the sea. Another aspect that is associated with strandings is that these animals are very SENCIBLES sounds, since many of these animals are guided and move according to the audition, so noise pollution is a factor that disorient whales and Because ending docked on the coast. A fact related to the last point is that found a large pod of pilot whales stranded on the island of Rutland, Donegal in October, this was seen alive in the Outer Hebrides a few days. It is speculated that his death could be associated with the Royal Navy who had been conducting routine exercises in the region and could have misled the sheath with its sonar causing further stranding, meanwhile the body demiente any effect saying that the gap generated between the sheath and they do not allow such an outcome
The study of cetaceans is very complex in its natural habitat so strandings data are of vital importance to estimate and infer as cetacean populations are therefore requesting help from volunteers and civilians who transit by the British coast that can communicate sightings of stranded animals (...)

Pelu,
interesting! I find very interesting the way these animals communicate.
