Fishermen found two whales and more than 40 dead sea lions between the beach of San José ( Lambayeque ) and the Íllescas reserve in Sechura-Piura.
According to reports, the stranding of marine species occurred as a result of the high tide that has been present for several days throughout the coast, which is why the Maritime Captaincy ordered the closure of the docks and coves of the Lambayeque region, for prevention .
Marine species were in a state of decomposition. The fact was reported to the authorities of the Institute of the Sea of Peru (Imarpe) in order to know the cause of the deaths.
In this regard, the president of the Asoprovida (Protective Association of Life), Elmer Burga Mundaca, reported that every year this stranding of whales, dolphins and other marine species is increasing in many parts of the world and is due to the deviation of the axis Terrestrial in relation to the planet’s magnetic axis.
