More than 100 dead dolphins have been discovered on Somalia's Puntland coast, with officials unable to determine the cause of death, though there is no evidence of injury from fishing nets or toxic substances affecting nearby fish
More than 100 dead dolphins have been found along the coast of Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region, though officials are still uncertain about the cause of their deaths.
Abdirisak Abdulahi Hagaa, the region’s fisheries minister, confirmed that at least 110 dead dolphins had been counted near the port city of Bosaso. Samples have been collected in an attempt to determine the cause of death.
"So far, we know their deaths were not caused by injuries from fishing nets, as there were no visible cuts or wounds," Hagaa said. He also noted that toxic substances were unlikely to be the cause, as local fish appeared unaffected.
The discovery of the dolphins has drawn crowds of local residents and soldiers, who gathered to view the scene, holding their noses due to the strong odor from the carcasses.
