Stranding, hunting and wind farms

2024, June 14. Bangladesh, Kuakata Beach. A 10-foot long bottlenose dolphin was found washed up in Patuakhali. Members of the Dolphin Conservation Committee and forest department are investigating.

2024, June 14. Iceland. 128 Fin whales approved for slaughter in Iceland. This quota will never be filled, nowhere near it if any at all. The decline in consumption of whale products worldwide is now almost nil.

2024, June 14. Australia, Illawarra. Wind farm gets the green light; however, it is pushed offshore. An extra 10 km further out means increased fuel used by support teams to build and maintain assets. This is not good for the environment. There is no impact on whales by windfarms.
