Less than a week after approximately one hundred sea lions washed up dead in the Illescas Reserve, in the province of Sechura (Piura), dead sea creatures were found once again in the area.

This time, a total of 187 lifeless sea lions were found between the beaches of San Pedro and San Pablo, and in La Tortuga inlet.

This was confirmed by sources inside the National Service of Protected Regional Areas (Sernanp). However, they admitted that they were not aware of the cause for these sea lion deaths.

In the meantime, fishermen working in the area said that the cause might be an increase in the sea temperature.
