What does that mean? Things do die, including us. Too bad the turtles didn't have a doctor, I guess you mean?

"when the grey whale population exploded...all of a sudden, there's a bunch of dead whales around...wha happened!!!!..."
Maybe the Navy and it's sonar experiments affected a larger number of whales.
"... and some of the older of the population [of turtles and sea lions] die off...and they wash up on our beaches..."
If 45 dead turtles is unusual - and it is - then something's "up". Might be a "natural" event - like storm turbulence, plankton bloom, disease, but
something. Or maybe they got caught in tuna and shark fishermen's nets, know they're protected, and they had to discard dead turtles which drowned
overnight.
In any event, I don't think they died from old age.

What it means is that you show little care or sympathy.
Yes everything dies. But you don't even know why these critters are dying. To just waive it off as a natural event is not very admirable IMO.

Has anyone contacted Profepa?
Perhaps this is for them to handle.

They are already involved with all of this and have been from the beginning.

Felt they were, Diana. Thank you and thanks, Blanca. So sorry this is happening.

What IF ?
This "OBVIOUSLY" expanding widespread dying is a SIGN from GOD that we ignore at our own peril ?
Quite possibly JUDGMENT is imminent.
REPENT and PREPARE.

Very Good Thread; I would sure like to see someone do a Pacific Coast of Baja and the Sea of Cortez study for a period of several years.
The many years I spent in Loreto and the Cortez I observed the Swuid that came in nearly every three years, some of them would bench themselves on the
Beach at Coronodo Island mostly. Then at one time I came upon 18 {I counted} dead Small Whales on the Beach near Port of Los Angeles. They had beached
themselves and died.
Other types of Fish such as the Amberjacks would show up at different intervals.
A good place to see this is at Dela Fonso Island off of San Nicholas/Pulpito area./ You can also observe the large Bird life and the size of the birds
controlling the spot where they nest.
Basicaly I think that it is just The Survival of the Fitest happening.

Searching for that Elusive Mexican Crustacean
The Swuid are, perhaps, not a great example in this discussion since they are, I believe, now extinct.
I'm unaware of ANYONE (other than Skeet) reporting have seen the species in many years now.
Their demise was likely brought about by excessive suicidal Benching.

Global warming, spread agriculture runoff destroying rivers and oceans, deforestation, factory fishing decimating the once-great fishery stocks, human
population over 7 billion...
Time for repenting is long passed, it's too late, we are doomed,.. recent news is that the rate of species extinction is higher than rate of new
species evolving, and no one has the self-control to deal with global warming...
but with any luck, rattleless rattle snakes will accomplish population control and we will all be thanking skeet for solving the population problem
that is root of all the worlds ills.

Goat" You are so Wrong!!!
The world is evolving as it is. Survival of the Fitest!!
The fish left alone for a shor period of time come Back. The Nuts do not report this as it would stop some of their Dumb Donnors.
Sharks are really strong, Yellow/Fin are everywhere, do not believe all this Bull Puckey about the World going to Hell.
We are doing Great! Except for DOPERS, GREEDY FOLKS, and peop[le who want to live off of someone else's Efforts and Work.
It will work out and we will stay the Biggest Strongest, Nation in the World.

All of you Posters have to remember that goat is a Communistic/Socialist type Person who wants to rule the Country by having everyone to be the same.
The World is not coming to and end, just going through some changes.

Good News from the Goat
"...........Time for repenting is long passed, it's too late, we are doomed......."
Which MEANS we can quit worrying about it all since it will do no good ?
THAT's a relief.
NOW, we can go ahead and just live as we please while ignoring all the Prattle about Global Warming, Species Extinction, Blah, Blah, Blah.
And, Yada, Yada, Yada ?
Good to Know that we're DOOMED no matter what.
As often said "I Feel SO MUCH Better now that I've given up Hope".
As an Afterthought:
One positive aspect of widespread animal species extinction could be that MORE people would, of necessity without critters to consume, become
VEGANS. Which would, of course, be greeted by the Veggie-Nuts with great shouts of Hallelujah, Kumbaya and Yabba-Dabba-Doo.
OR, whatever words to that effect are used in the Vegan Covens.

So, in spite of the fact that Baja Cat thinks I need to quit walking LOL, I went out again this a.m. and the good news is: no new dead animals, but
the old ones are creating a BIG stink (quite literally).
and, there was a red tide a couple weeks ago and now the beach is just stacke4d with seaweed. which we don't usually have at all here. flies flies
everywhere.

yes Blanca...it may have something to do with a red tide that was spotted near this area....this will choke and kill some strange bottom fish too and
some abalone is dying too which sucks.
It is the warm water that kills off the kelp...our beaches have alot of dead kelp too which brings the flies...dang...sure is nice for swimming now
though eh!...not to mention the great fishing!

The Sea turned RED ?
That ties in.
Happened to the Nile.
Pharaoh ignored it.
