This is incredibly sad. The ocean is a complex integrated engine, and the more we interfere with it, the more likely it is that ocean wildlife just won't be able to find the space to cope with the changes. #ocean #whales #stranding https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/16/pilot-whales-dead-mass-stranding-isle-of-lewis-scotland
