It must be those bloody transmitters the SBAs have installed throwing off the dolphin's directional senses!

I expect they are piled up ten deep at Zygi then!

[Gasman]

D'ya think the activities on the SBA could be blamed for all the beached dolphins found in Cornwall too?

*Edited to add: Surprised Oracle didn't blame it on the Turks!

[SSBubbles]

I'm pretty certain activities at the Base have contributed to the dolphins' losing their way ....

Expand your theory please - I will return after lunch so no hurry!

I have finished lunch and dinner O .......................

Oo-err Gasman, you are such a cynic...............................

It's no longer considered a coincidence that where there are military exercise using sonar or other high frequency waves, conducted near seas, it affects the migration patterns of whales and dolphins, sometimes leading to beaching.

So the fact this happened so close to the SBA and on such a large scale strongly suggests the SBAs have been emitting signals which disrupt these dolphins.

This was the reason something similar happened off the coast of Cornwall, last year (where of course there are no SBAs but other military activity).

"Naval activities such as the use of sonar for anti-submarine training could have been a factor in the dolphins, which are sensitive to underwater sounds, coming closer to shore".

So, the same can be said for any similar military base anywhere in the world, yes?

(you took your time! )

Apologies if I was given a deadline for an assignment and failed to spot it, but I don't tend to closely monitor your posts SSBubbles.

In answer to your question ... of course not!

You have to look at all possible underlying factors. The most obvious is if they are ill. From the Mail article it would appear that these dolphins were healthy (apart from any subsequent injuries due to the stranding).

Health problems ruled out, then if there are military activities in the vicinity they could be the most likely contributor.

Of course, the MOD will deny all possible activities (again) ...

[Get Real!]

If I had a taverna close to that beach I’d go grab one of those stranded morsels (chuck it in the back of a pickup truck with the aid of 2-3 mavrous) and serve my patrons with a special seasonal dish of prime “Free Willie” cutlets!

could

Well done Daily telegraph...

Of course it could have been due to the weather or it could have been due to sunspot activity, etc.

Given that technology is easily available, is there any evidence that SBAs have been emitting signals which disrupt these dolphins?
