At least 1,100 animals have been found on the country's beaches since January 2019. Local environmental authorities are concerned about these record numbers of dead animals.
The number of dead animals could be up to ten times higher, because many bodies sink into the sea and are not counted. The causes of the deaths are unknown, but the main hypothesis says that it is due to the large number of fishing boats in the region. Injuries to animals are caused by fishing nets.
