Marine Animal Disturbance Alert

I'm placing a Marine Animal Disturbance alert out for the Chatham Islands and the east coast of the two islands of New Zealand after the meteor airburst. The event parameters: 2024, December 1. Pacific Ocean, east of New Zealand. Airburst. Coordinates: (-42.7, -172.4). Time: 08:50. e = 13, -e = 0.38 or 380,000 kg/TNT. Pacific Ocean 334 km E.N.E of the Chatham Islands. A pilot whale can travel up to 160 km a day. This reduces to 40 to 60km when unsettled. The combination of the noise and VLF Radio waves injures toothed whales. This holds for Baleen whales also however it is just the noise that upsets them. This event is almost three times greater than the one in South Africa that created a large sonic boom and less in altitude and at greater velocity. This calculates that it was roughly between 5 to 10m in diameter if it was a stoney meteoroid.
