The ocean has now broken temperature records every day for more than a year.

2024 has continued 2023’s trend of beating previous records by wide margins.

In fact, the whole planet has been hot for months, according to many different data sets.

On March 13, NOAA Fisheries received a report of a dead bottlenose dolphin on West Mae’s Beach in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The dolphin, a juvenile, had injuries consistent with being shot with a firearm.

The necropsy (animal autopsy) revealed multiple bullets lodged in the carcass, including in the brain, spinal cord, and heart of the dolphin. The animal appeared to have died from the trauma, which occurred at or near the time of death. 

 NOAA’s Office of Law Enforcement is investigating the death and is asking the public for any information about who may have been involved. They are offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to a criminal conviction or the assessment of a civil penalty. 

Anyone with information about this incident should call the NOAA Enforcement Hotline at (800) 853-1964. You can leave tips anonymously, but to be eligible for the reward you must include your name and contact information.

It’s deeply saddening to see this level of brutality imposed on an innocent dolphin. Please share this post to raise awareness.

🚨MASS PILOT WHALE STRANDING🚨

Up to 160 pilot whales have stranded at Toby Inlet near Dunsborough, Western Australia, with almost 30 confirmed dead.

The majority have since moved offshore, with wildlife authorities monitoring their movements.

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions’ (DBCA) Pia Courtis said 29 whales have died, with biological samples to be taken from the animals before they are removed.

She said more than 100 have since moved offshore, but she did not rule out the possibility of their return.

“We’ve got vessels out on the water and we’ve also got a spotter plane up in the air that’s doing searches over every couple of hours to see where they are,” she said.
“So far so good, they haven’t made it back to shore.”

Mass strandings of pilot whales are not uncommon in Australia and New Zealand. But after decades of such events, scientists do not fully understand why they occur. Some researchers think pods go off track after feeding too close to shore.

This is what 3.1 million lbs(1.4 million kg) of trash looks like.

@theoceancleanup’s interceptor removed it from flowing into the Caribbean Sea from Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala. All in a single evening.

This is one example of thousands in which plastic is entering our oceans at utterly alarming rates.

Share this video. Raise awareness. And take action by demanding a global plastics treaty and consuming less plastic when you can. #plasticpollution #oceanpollution
