Dolphin, Seal Deaths Plague New England


Whether they got lost, sick or swam astray chasing food, 77 dolphins that beached on Cape Cod in recent weeks have died, the second time in three months New England has seen a mass of marine mammal deaths.
Now, scientists are trying to figure out why.
They're also researching whether there's any connection to a die-off this fall of 162 harbor seals, whose carcasses were found between northern Massachusetts and Maine.

It's the medical waste that's dumped in the ocean.

Scientists are trying to figure out why?? LOL. Try testing the water for the thousands of chemicals being dumped in the local waters. Probably not any of that though. Fish and mammals try jumping onto land all the time. Its evolution in progress, right before our very eyes....
