2020, August 28. Mauritius. A pod of 39 dolphins died. Any link to an oil spill from a Japanese ship wreaked on a reef was false. A Japanese ship, MV Wakashio, ran aground on July 25 and began leaking fuel on August 6 into the Mahebourg Lagoon, fouling a protected wetlands area and a small island that was a bird and wildlife sanctuary. This is a fact and was terrible for the environment, especially the wetlands that were devastated. The oil was a new low-sulfur fuel oil that was being introduced to reduce air pollution. Along with the dolphins, 3 whales also died. The dolphins and whales have been stranded under “split stranding conditions” which means some kind of concussion force is behind the event.
The following are airbursts from meteors preceding the strandings.
2020, March 4. Southern Ocean/Indian Ocean. Airburst. (-53.3, 90.8). e=39.4, -e= 1 or 1,000,000 kg of TNT.
2020, March 26. Southern Ocean/Indian Ocean. Airburst. (-38.3, 23.5). e=12.4, -e=0.37 or 370,000 kg of TNT.
2020, May 18. Southern Ocean/Indian Ocean. Airburst. (-38. 7, 77.2). e=16.2, -e=0.46 or 460,000 kg of TNT.
2020, July 12. Southern Ocean/Indian Ocean. Airburst. (-48.7, 74). e=7.5, -e=0.23 or 230,000 kg of TNT.
2020 August. Dead dolphins and whales in Mauritius.
An interesting note is that in Tasmania, Australia this event happened a month later. Based on travel times for these marine animals it all adds up.
2020, September 14-16. Tasmania. Australia’s worst stranding event: Split stranding. Total 470 Long-Finned Black Dolphins strand in Macquarie Harbour. Rescuers save 111. 270 stranded on the 14th and another 200 on the 16th.
