Scientists looking for answers after hundreds of dead turtles wash ashore

AFP NOVEMBER 12, 2013 11:39PM

HUNDREDS of sea turtles are washing up dead on the beaches of Central America and scientists don't know why.

One hypothesis is that the killer is a potent neurotoxin that can be produced by algae during red tides, which are large accumulations of algae that turn sea water red or brown.

What puzzles scientists is the fact that red tides have come and gone before without taking such a deadly toll on turtles.

Making things worse, some of the turtles that are dying are endangered species.

In El Salvador, for instance, from late September to the middle of October, 114 sea turtles were discovered dead on Pacific coast beaches, according to the environment ministry...

...In one area of El Salvador's coast, dogs that started eating dead turtles stopped breathing and died almost instantly...



:o

Poor turtles.

I wonder if this is a synch with that dream I posted from my friend Dianne?

How very sad.... Yeah, we were just posting about turtles a few days ago.... it is a sync, one...

Sadder yet is the ripple of death extending to the dogs.... :(

i have seen stories of the starfish turning to mush off the east coast, too...

it sure heightens our sense of concern for the waters of our dear planet...
