''We suspect that direct #HPAI #transmission between #sealions could be occurring, rather than independent #spillovers into sea lions from #avian sources, but additional sequence data and analysis will be required to further characterise mammal-to-mammal transmission.''

@djr @dangillmor @BBCRD @BBC5Live @BBCRadio4 @BBCTaster @Connected_Studio @BBC_News_Labs well it started well enough on the first @BBCRadio4 post with welcomes but soon enough the #Mansplainers and #Sealions started to butt in to tell them how to post properly.
FINALLY!
NZ's fishing industry operated out of sight for too long.
Fishing-dumping and 'by-catch' deaths of protected seabirds, seals, sea lions and dolphins have occasionally been documented, but it's the tip of the iceberg.

What to know about the sick and dying #SeaLions washing ashore in #California : NPR https://www.npr.org/2023/07/11/1186747010/sea-lions-sick-dying-southern-california-coast-algal-bloom-algae “Over the past few weeks, droves of sick and dying #SeaAnimals have been washing up along the coast of #SouthernCalifornia, including beaches in Santa Barbara and Ventura.
The devastation has been caused by an outbreak of toxic #algae on a scale never before seen in the region, according to #NOAA Fisheries' West Coast branch.”
#SeaLions #California #seaanimals #southerncalifornia #algae #noaa
Episodes of harmful algal bloom [HAB] are happening more often off the California coast and in more places than ever before. The cause? Warming ocean temperatures caused by climate change and chemical-laden runoff from cities and agriculture, made much worse by the current El Niño.
The current HAB event off California is sickening and killing sea lions and other marine animals at an unprecedented rate.

Thousands of #Dolphins and #SeaLions Washing Up Dead on #California Coast
Story by Robyn White, June 21, 2023
"There have been over a thousand reports of sick and dead mammals washing ashore, between June 8 and June 14, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"The cause for the deaths of these sea creatures has been identified as harmful #algae growing in large numbers along the Southern California coast.
"Scientists have said that the increased numbers of algal blooms across the world are due to #ClimateChange.
"As global water temperatures increase, so do these blooms, which can prove a hazard to marine life."
