More than 70 penguins appear dead in Santa Catarina, Brazil

Still the search for the death of approximately 70 penguins, found yesterday in the beaches of the region. The two cities with the most death records were Navegantes, with 19, and Balneário Camboriú with 14 birds caught. The main suspect is that they died of malnutrition. But illegal fishing nets can also be villains.
According to Jeferson Luiz Dick, coordinator of the Beach Monitoring Project, managed by Univali, besides Balneário and Navegantes, dead animals were found in Barra Velha, Penha, Bombinhas, Itapema and Porto Belo.
In Navega, the penguins were in the sand of the beach. All were collected by the inspectors of the Environmental Foundation of Navegantes (Fuman) and handed over to the technicians of the Beach Monitoring Project, managed by Univali.
In Balneário, besides the central beach, the lifeless birds were in Taquaras and Pinho beach.
