Deep Blue Resort Utila

Hi

This week I am sorry but some sad news of 5 Pilot Whales who beached themselves on Utila.

There are lots of different thoughts on why whales do this, some are sonar from things like submarines, another thought is underwater natural noise such as an earthquake, there have been whale beachings since before the days of submarines.

If you look at this website

http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/neic_xmaq.html you will see that there was an earthquake in the area a few days before, could it have anything to do with it ????

Skin samples were taken and will be examined.

This story has created a lot of news even in the International Herald Tribune

Here are some photos of the sad event.
