Re: 6 Dead Dolphins Wash Up On Massachusetts Beaches
That time of year. I wish we understood why this happens. Theories abound, ranging from simply getting confused among the extensive shoals and tide falls [which also claims a few humans per year getting lost trying to walk back to shore in the fog on a flooding tide] to human interferance with however they navigate, but nothing I know of that's definitive. -

Bushes fault?
Just kidding... relax.“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”― Mark Twain,Comment

I don't think there are any bushes in the ocean but that's a little less of a non sequitor than if you meant Bush's.Comment

Sids?The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
Personal failures are too important to be trusted to others.Comment

Not here for sure, but I understand down in places like Ft Lauderdale, Cancun and Cannes, there's plenty. Strangely enough, reports are there are almost no bush in the waters off Brazil.“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Re: 6 Dead Dolphins Wash Up On Massachusetts Beaches
There is no doubt that human oceanic noise pollution in general and naval noise in particular is a huge problem and not just affecting mammels - the life on coral reefs is very sound-sensitive, for example. And noise pollution could be a problem in Massachusetts Bay, but there is something underlying. There are records back to colonial times and Algonquin tales before that of blackfish strandings as an annual food and fuel sourse.Comment

Around here we have this Navy ship with experimental sonar that blasts whales eardrums out into bloody pulps and kills them. Maybe you have the same thing over there."Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
