Dozens of whales die in mass stranding on beach in Orkney Islands

Dozens of dead whales were found stranded on a beach in Orkney Islands on Thursday. British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) received a report on Thursday morning of a mass stranding of up to 100 long-finned pilot whales on the Scottish Island of Sanday.

What weapons are they testing now

[@susanhenry6834]

My first thought too.

[@dr.jillalicecooper2587]

Wind turbines are killing them, that's how they're "saving" the planet.

[@liamwilson7549]

I am convinced this is caused by the ping that is sent out by Submarines. The sound is strong enough to rupture flesh if used in a defensive manner at a higher frequency. Considering whales use echo location they would be more sensitive to sound than other sea creatures. It very well could be so loud that they’re being driven mad by it to the point they’re trying to seek a more muffled location in the sea, and what’s more muffled than shallow water

[@aussieandy67]

It could be however they have sonar weapons now we saw China use them on us and the testings back in the 80s connect to other beachingd

There must be a global Investigation. Whales are one of the most important in balancing life in the Oceans. Without them there will be no more food for humans from fishing.

[@MaryBrod-ie9wi]

@AlphaMomentum-op3vp Sorry, buddy, but the electromagnetic field constantly shifts and doesn't do diddly squat to whales. Humans likely did do this. Climate change is very real and very dangerous. Just ask Texans right now.

Google "A mass stranding of Blackfish on the shore of Cape Cod, Massachusetts around the turn of the 20th century." There were no submarines then. So there may be other reasons

GPS malfunction to much technology

[@carlbeaver7112]

Highly unlikely. GPS satellites, also known as NAVSTAR, transmit two low-power radio signals, L1 and L2, with a transmitter power of 50 watts or less. That's from a distance of 12,550 miles above Earth. The minimum level of the GPS L1 CA signal that reaches the Earth's surface must be at least -160dBW (-130dBm) to maintain a signal level, which requires a transmitter power of about 25W (~14 dBW). AM Broadcast radio transmits at up to 50,000 watts, from the surface.

It's not huge, it's three or four medium sized turbines. Visited Sanday and this beach last month.

[@jeffreyroberts7438]

@@ginnypeckham4022 3 or 4? You obviously didn’t look too hard. The point is any wind turbine produces a magnetic field which can disrupt marine life signals.

What would cause this , low tide, high tide?!

[@liamwilson7549]

Underwater earthquakes causing immense noise and sonar from submarines are enough to drive the whales mad. No one will officially tell you this but the primary cause of earthquakes today in the ocean is because of oil drilling.

[@evaadamTheOnlyOne]

Military!

@veev2561 Tides have existed as long as the moon has. This is something else. Most likely people in comments are right about sonar. Humans ruin so much. 😢

[@jeremiahmatthewgreatmanofpeace]

Is this anywhere near an offshore wind farm being constructed?

[@williamabbott9437]

Must be carbon emissions. Certainly couldn't have anything to do the Earth's magnetic dipole changing location?

[@liamwilson7549]

I do not believe it has to do with the poles, this has been happening since ancient times millions of years ago. It in all likelihood is related to underwater earthquakes. Since whales use echo location they are highly sensitive to sound. An earthquake may as well be the scratching of a chalk board to humans only multiplied by hundreds to the hearing of whales.
