Dear Sailors,
recently there was a mass mortality of whales in the northern part of the Golfo de Penas / Golfo Tres Montes ( in the central Patagonian fjord system (Chile). (~46°/47° S ~ 75° 20' W).
A group of scientists went there to investigate the resasons behind this mass mortality.
To get more information about this event it would be very helpful if sailors who have been in that region previously or are going to go there could provide additional information, e.g. cooridinates and time of dead or living whale sightings, ideally with a photo.
In previous years, dead whales have been reported in Cono Slight ( 46°36'12.77"S 75°28'42.16"W) It would be great to know if there are dead whales in that fjord this year as well.
Any information about the dead whales are very much appreciated and can help to better understand the reasons of the mass mortality.
Thanks a lot!
Henry
