By the time marine biologist Darrell Blatchley arrived at the fishing village, he already knew how the young whale had died.

By the time marine biologist Darrell Blatchley arrived at the fishing village on Saturday, the young Cuvier's beaked whale was already floating, dead in the water, its eyes sunken and ribs protruding through its skin. The current off the southern Philippine island of Mindanao had washed away the blood it vomited before its death.40 kilograms of plastic bags were found inside a whale found dead in the Philippines.

Lindsay Mosher, Oceanic Society's Blue Habits project manager, said in an email that "this whale's tragic death by plastic is an important wake-up call to the fact that we can and must do more to stop ocean plastic pollution". National Geographic reported that more than 30 whales with plastic debris in their bellies washed up on European beaches in 2016. Since then, plastic trash has been discovered increasingly in the stomachs of dead seabirds and whales.

'Quickest, cheapest' way to boost Sydney's train servicesWhile tens of billions are ploughed into new metro rail lines, London's Tube is a lesson on how to significantly increase train services in Sydney. Mattonews Then do it. What's 3 billion to fix a vital part of this city when people find it acceptable to throw 2 billion at rebuilding a couple of stadiums? Mattonews So why wasn't this done rather than the wasteful CBD- eastern suburbs light rail? Mattonews Why would they do something as logical as that. The wicked witch only does things that benefit developers and investors.

Australian man arrested, 40 dead in Christchurch mosque terror attackBreaking 40 people are believed to have lost their lives in the Christchurch terror attacks, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirms. Also dropped a 'we will protect you' into the media conference pretty much as expected! Will be working on how to turn this into a political scaremongering to try and save seats! 🤬🤬🤬 So, an Australian is in custody over the tragic mosque shooting. This is the result of constant racial/religious dog whistling. It's on the heads of any person in public life who has perpetuated this most disgusting of political strategies. This is the consequence of the Islamophobic and racist hate that has been normalised and legitimised by some politicians and media.
