More whales found dead in southern Alaska waters
Additional reports of dead whales floating in Alaska waters have continued to trickle in since the first was spotted in May. The death toll now stands at 10 fin whales and four humpbacks, and they appear to have died at about the same time.

(21,363 posts)approximately 300,000 tons of radioactive water freely flowing 365/24/7 since 3/11/11, it is my opinion that we will continue to see a rise in all these 'baffling' deaths.
And no one is testing these creatures for any radiation, no one.

(1,527 posts)The whole pacific off the west coast has been in turmoil this year. Massive die offs of birds, starfish, seals, and whales and other mammals. And the recent runs of millions of red crabs trying to escape the pacific.
There is a large "blob" of unusually warm water off Alaska they have been worrying about moving north and adding to the sea ice melt. This unusually warm water off the coast has also contributed to a widespread red tide poisonous algae bloom. And the warm water has much lower oxygen levels than cold water, which is why the normally cold north pacific waters normally have so many fish. I am sure adding Fukushima radiation releases into the pacific are not helping either.
