Dolphins Washing Up Along Texas Coast
PORT ARANSAS (KIII News) -
Local marine experts have a mystery on their hands, they're trying to determine why nearly three dozen dolphins have washed up along our beaches.
Since the first of the year, there've been at least 34 of those strandings from Corpus Christi to Port Aransas. Last year, at this time, there were just a handful, so why is it happening?
They aren't sure what's been going on because the testing on those mammals takes quite sometime to complete and there's no obvious signs, or clear cut reasons for their deaths.

"We don't know what's causing the deaths at this time until the pathology and the forensics is done. As far as the samples we are collecting just using that as a basic rule of thumb you wouldn't want to expose your children or pets to a dead marine mammal," says [Lea] Walker.
