900 Dolphins dead in Peru along with thousands of birds

2012, March to April. Peru. Since March some 4,000 birds, mostly pelicans and boobies, and 900 dolphins have been found dead along a 200-kilometer stretch of northern coastline reaching up to the border with Ecuador. The affected coastline has been closed with only scientists allowed to access the area. Reasons for the deaths include a virus, contamination, and overfishing. Corruption within the fishing industry causing reductions in anchovy stocks is blamed for the bird deaths. Investigations are continuing and could take five to 10 days to establish a cause.
