Scientists in San Filipe are investigating after finding more than 550 dead seabirds and four dead seals in San Felipe, Baja California.
After surveillance operations at the Port of San Felipe, Baja California, the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Profepa) found 554 birds and 4 sea lions dead, they believe that the death's occurred due to recent climate problems.
"Changes in water temperature will cause the shoals of fish entering the bay deeper and consequently the birds can not get their main food source," he said.
The Profepa indicated that this hypothesis was considered after taking in experience of other countries in the same research on the mass killing of specimens of wildlife.
The above findings would not cause the deaths of the sea lions however.
