12+ dead #dolphins wash up in #KingIsland, #Australia

More than a dozen dead dolphins were found washed up on a beach on the northern coast of King Island.

The bodies were reported to the Parks and Wildlife Service several weeks ago but came to public attention when photos were shared on social media by King Islander Anne Marie Sutor-Micic.

Mrs Sutor-Micic said she stumbled upon the carcasses last weekend while walking on the remote coastline between Disappointment Bay and Three Sisters.

“We went for a fish with my husband and our daughter and we saw these dead dolphins on the beach,” she said.

“It’s pretty sad how they were all dead.”

Mrs Sutor-Micic said she counted 15 dead dolphins and a dead seal around two kilometres further along the beach.

“But I’m not really sure. It could be more than 15 because some were already buried under the sand,” she said.
