2026 July 22 (July 17 to date). Uruguay. Cluster stranding of 12 Fraser's dolphins. Working Group on Marine Fauna Strandings (GTV) has verified 12 registered strandings of Fraser's dolphins. These occurred in the towns of San Luis (2, with one returned to sea), Colonia del Sacramento (2), Punta del Este (2), Playa Verde (1), Barra del Chuy (3), Oceanía del Polonio (1) and Cabo Polonio (1). Preliminary results from autopsies performed on 3 of the dolphins indicate a possible link to Cetacean Morbillivirus– a highly contagious virus among whales and dolphins that can cause immunosuppression, pneumonia, and encephalitis. However, this is still a preliminary diagnosis and requires further confirmation.
MASS WHALE STRANDINGS CAUSED BY METEOROIDS AND METEOR SHOWERS. The completed paper can be found below in the 2024 January 7th post titled Connection between Meteoroids and Mass Whale Strandings. “It is not known why they sometimes run aground on the seashore: for it is asserted that this happens rather frequently when the fancy takes them and without any apparent reason.” -Arisotle
