Thousands of mysterious deaths.
There is pandemodium on the west coast of South Africa.
I have included a podcast in this post and we found this beautifull animal here by us on the East Coast. Miles away from the West Coast.
Wildlife experts are baffled by the deaths of thousands of Cape fur seals along SA’s west coast, one of the biggest mass die-offs that may be linked to a shortage of fish for seals to eat.
Grim video footage this week showed seals convulsing and dying in shallow water, with local residents reporting many carcasses between Cape Town and Elands Bay.
The die-off coincides with the deaths of thousands of coastal birds due to an avian influenza outbreak along the west coast.
A large number of penguins were killed earlier this month by a swarm of bees, adding to a miserable death toll for marine wildlife.
Come and listen to the Podcast here;

I will only post this extra Fur seal photo and then move on to other things on the beach.
Right, now let's have a look at the wind.
We cannot see the wind, but we can see the wind driven beach sand.
Some ares of the beach looked like the Moon, or Mars.
And then some brave souls fishing in the wind.
Finally should the huge waves arrive when the wind changes direction to come from the other side, I think that this gue will find himself in a tight spot. He will definitely not, row, row, row his boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream...
The normal ways of the sea are being disturbed by mostly the actions of mankind.
I have my own theory about the lack of food for the seals, (should they be found to have died of malnourishment), and that is simply that our waters are being stripped of fish by foreign vessels that can drop their nets at will. Our navy might not be able to patrol the maritime borders of our oceans. Drones connected to satellites might be a good idea.
Of course there are excuses, but I think that we are in trouble.
Such is life.
Without Prejudice.
And That's All Friends!

What a pity for them! They are such amazing creatures
Oh yes, and to top it all we now also have Avian Flu, killing the endangered Cormorant seabirds.
Mr. Death is harvesting here.
Or the humans poisoning the water with who knows what. The ocean/sea is full or garbage. Mostly plastic. And there are also nuclear experiments, rockets, other experiments and other things, which we do not know.
Oh yeah, mankind is playing a very dangerous game that can affect all of us.
We need many more NPOs like "Green Peace".
It will be interesting to hear what their findings are after they examine the seals.
As much of mankind continues to turn a blind eye to problems like this, I would expect things to get worse.
Water covers 70% of Earth and I wonder what % of this life-sustaining liquid can no longer sustain life.
Greetings and salutations @thebigsweed,
Oh yes, and some are already saying that it was malnutrition, but then the fish stock here must be totally depleted, as we also had a very large whale found dead on one of the beaches.
Yes, we all need to wake up, as if damages like this will continue, then we do not have a very long time to survive over here.
An interesing question and I think that more than 50% of the waters are contaminated.
Cheers and !LUV (Sorry that's all that I have, as I never buy tokens, but have to build the stocks up by what I receive)

@thebigsweed, you've been given LUV from @papilloncharity.
Check the LUV in your H-E wallet. (2/5)
Hello my friend, the cause of death being a lack of food sounds a little fishy to me.
I wonder if the real reason for this disaster will ever come out, who knows what the heck to believe anymore.
Thanks for the LUV, much appreciated. Here's some love back at you.🧡🧡💛💛💚💚💙💙
Times have changed drastically my friend and the cover ups have increased into gigantic proportions.
We are now having elections and so the parties are digging up all kinds of dirt on the contesting parties in their efforts to win votes.
Fun and games galore.
What a cute way to give me love and I thank you kindly.
