Approximately 40 of the 80 whales that strand themselves on the north coast of New Zealand has died

Approximately 40 of the 80 whales that strand themselves on the north coast of New Zealand has died, and the rest may soon follow. This is the second incident occurred this month in New Zealand."There are many other whales to come. Whales that have high social ties and they try to help one another. So it looks like going even more whale strandings," said Mark Simpson from Project Jonah, a charity for protection of marine mammals, as quoted by USA Today on Thursday (23/09/2010).

Manager-Operational Department of Conversation on the coast of Spirits Bay, Patrick Whaley said that it had 'lull' some of the most vulnerable fish and stress.Poor weather and sea conditions in Spirits Bay requires that the fish that survived were brought by road approximately one hour into the morning Rarawa Beach, where they will be placed.

"Whales will be removed using large nets behind," said Mark Simpson.Manager-areas of the Department of Conversation Jonathan Maxwell said that at least there were 25 whales that died, when the authorities arrived at Spirits Bay, and 15 others died when the night falls. There are still approximately 40 individuals who are still alive and trapped on the beach, while 50 fish longer visible on the outside coast.

Maxwell added that volunteers from the Far North Whale Resque, Department of Conversation and the local Maori community planning for the overnight stay at the beach to help the whales in order to stay alive.In mid-August near Beach Karikari, 58 whales beached. Of the hundreds of people trying to help, only 9 managed diceburkan tail back into the sea. 101 whales also stranded in the same place in 2007 yesterday.

New Zealand is one of the places with the highest number of cases pendamparan whales, which mostly occurs when they are migrating from the Antarctic waters, which begin around September.Since 1840, the Department of Concervation has recorded more than 5000 cases pendamparan whales and dolphins on the coast of New Zealand. Until now scientists do not know what caused this incident occurred
