What actions are being taken to investigate the causes behind the dolphin mass stranding in Tasmania?
The team on the ground is undertaking comprehensive investigations to determine the reasoning behind this rare mass stranding of false killer whales. Their approach includes conducting post-mortem examinations and collecting samples from the deceased animals to analyze potential causes. These scientific efforts are particularly important as this marks the first large stranding of this species in Tasmania in 50 years, with over 150 false killer whales beached and approximately 90 still alive when discovered. The investigations aim to provide insights into why these deep-water mammals, which resemble orcas, ended up stranded on this remote beach.
