300 dead turtles found on a beach in Odisha, India: Locals astonished by sheer number!
Posted: 22 Jan 2016 02:14 AM PST
It's been a bad start to the year for for marine wildlife around the world along with the 7 dead grey whales on the Mexican coast, 13 sperm whales died on the Dutch and German coast last week and 45 dead whales washed up on the Indian coast....
Probably more than 100,000 sea birds have died along the coast of Alaska and thousands of squid have washed up dead along the coast of Chile all after a report stating 70% of our sea birds and 75% of the worlds fish are now depleted:
No fish left in our oceans by the year 2048 NOAA:
More marine life carnage is being reported from Puri Beach, Odisha in India, as 300 Olive Ridley turtles have washed up dead along the popular beach, a bottlenose dolphin was also found dead...
It's not unusual to find the occasional dead turtle this time of the year however the sheer number of turtle carcasses has astonished the locals.
According to news reports, the forest and marine fisheries authorities have seized two trawlers for carrying out unauthorised fishing - despite a ban which was put in place due to the nesting season of the turtles. Collector of Puri, Arabind Agarwal, told the media that a report had been sought from the concerned agencies. He said:
"This is unfortunate that a large number of Olive Ridley turtles died on the beach.
It seemed that they were hit by trawlers."
The Beach Protection Council of Odisha (BPCO), a voluntary organisation working for the protection of the beach has given a memorandum to Aggarwal demanding strict implementation of the fishing ban between November and May.
Further south around 80 whales were washed ashore on the southern coast at Tiruchendur in Tamil Nadu.
At least 45 of the short-finned pilot whales died despite rescue efforts.

No fish left in our oceans by the year 2048 NOAA:
Seven dead beached whales were found in different parts of the Laguna Ojo de Liebre, located in the municipality of Baja California Sur.
According to the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Profepa), six calves and one youth were found dead and already had an advanced state of decomposition.
The gray whales were located in tours surveillance carried out by staff of the Profepa, to monitor the whales during breeding season, in coordination with the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP) and the Department of Ecology Exportadora.
Specialists from Profepa in Baja California and the CONANP, said the death of the copies was from natural causes and that this is an extraordinary situation not presented every year at the beginning of the breeding season.
This is because in the breeding area of gray whale calves are commonly lost or are abandoned by the mother, and receiving no food die, as the calves consume around 200 liters of breast milk per day.
In January last year, Profepa reported finding 14 bodies of gray whales within the Laguna Ojo de Liebre, while in 2014 12 deaths.
7 specimens found stranded Tuesday representing 1.19% of the population of the species in the lagoon Ojo hare, according to Profepa.
None of the whales were found with lacerations or wounds caused by boats or fishing; only skin scrapings were observed caused by friction with the surface during the stranding.
The bodies were kept in the same location of the find, as they are in uninhabited areas and can compose naturally with no risks to public health.
Also part of the food chain, defined as the flow of energy and nutrients that is established between the various species of an ecosystem in relation to nutrition.
