What was rich with life under the sea is now entering our shores dying. This should be a shock that drastic change is already occurring and the focus should be on stopping the bleeding, but no, our society isn’t able on even entertaining that as a dominant narrative until it’s too late.

Sadly, pilot whale strandings have been happening since forever. While it is possible human impact may have had an effect here, it isn't clear unlike with impacts such as global warming. However, treating every bad event in nature as being something humans are responsible for without proof just gives cover to those who deny actual science out of ignorance, malice, or because it would be convenient.

380 died. 50 saved.

Still working on the remainder.

This could have been caused simply by two young ones getting into trouble, and due to the social bindings, all the others come to rescue them, and get stranded as well.
