>> Baby dolphins dying along oil-soaked US Gulf Coast Some 17 baby dolphin corpses have been found along the shorelines of Alabama and Mississippi in the past two weeks, The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies said. "The average is one or two a month. This year we have 17, and February isn't even over yet," said Moby Solangi, director of the Gulfport, Mississippi-based institute. Really? This is something to get excited about? There are 17 instead of 1.7? The untimely deaths of 15.3 more dolphins, if that is as bad as it is one year after the spill, is an excellent outcome anyway you look at it.

Scientist: Baby dolphin deaths had '07 precedent Feb 24 01:15 PM US/Eastern NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A federal scientist says a recent surge of baby bottlenosed dolphin deaths has a precedent four years ago in Texas. In March 2007, 68 dolphins washed up in Galveston and Jefferson counties. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientist Blair Mase says those included an unusual number of infants. NOAA spokeswoman Kim Amendola (am-en-DOH-luh) says that this year in Mississippi, Alabama, the Florida panhandle and Louisiana, 48 dolphins were stranded and 29 of them were calves. The calf deaths were concentrated in Mississipi and Alabama. Possible causes include cold winter and disease. Scientists also are investigating whether there was a link to the BP oil spill. But they say the only spike in deaths is in one dolphin species.
