Up To 2,800 Dolphins May Have Been Claimed By Peruvian Mass Dieoff - 615 Corpses In 135Km Of Coast
LIMA, Peru -- When a retired fisherman called to report that about 1,500 dolphins had washed up dead on Peru’s northern coast, veterinarian Carlos Yaipén’s first reaction was, “That’s impossible.” But when Yaipén traveled up the coast last week, he counted 615 dead dolphins along a 135-kilometer stretch of coastline. Now, the death toll could be as high as 2,800, based on volunteers’ counts. Peru's massive dolphin die-off is among the largest ever reported worldwide.
The strandings, which began in January, are a marine mystery that may never be unraveled. Experts say the causes could be acoustic impact from testing for oil or perhaps an unknown virus or other pathogen. Little marine research takes place in Peru, and even in the United States, of 55 marine mammal strandings since 1991, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has classified 29 as “undetermined.”
All of the 20 or so animals Yaipén has examined showed middle-ear hemorrhage and fracture of the ear's periotic bone, lung lesions and bubbles in the blood. To him, that suggests that a major acoustic impact caused injury, but not immediate death.
Most of the dolphins apparently were alive when they beached, or had died very recently. “The animal would become disoriented, would have intense pain, and would have to make a great effort to breathe,” he said of the injuries.

Magnetic changes don't cause this type of injury:

These are caused by high intensity pressure waves being transmitted through
the water and maiming anything unfortunate to be occupying that space at the time.
As above, I'd start finding out which navies (high power sonar) and oil/gas exploration
ships (seismic surveys) were operating in the affected vicinity & timescale ... then
taking the appropriate command team from each ship and forcing them to undergo
the same treatment as they dealt out to the dolphins ...
that's even worse... I didn't think they were still doing that stuff...
guh, why the animals of the planet don't rise up and maim us humans is beyond me sometimes
