Mystery surrounds dolphins, turtles and sea lions found dead on Mexican coast


Marine experts have no answer to the latest spate of death of marine animals with dead dolphins, turtles and sea lions washing up on the beaches of Mexico which are popular tourist destinations. As many as 21, 11 turtles and two sea lions have been found to have been either washed up on shore or floating in shallow waters near to Sinaloa.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 19 October 2015.
The carcasses do not exhibit any signs of external injuries, hence possibility to have been caught in fisherman's nets or run over by a cruise liner. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) of Mexico are studying whether the deaths were a result of pollution.
Tourists have been warned to steer clear from the sands, which stretch almost 26 miles along the west coast of Mexico, until the cause of the deaths has been established.
