"It probably would be the first time that seismic testing had ever been implicated in this kind of mass mortality of dolphins," say Hardy Jones, a wildlife documentary maker for the last thirty years.
Thousands of dolphins wash up on the northern coast of Peru. Are they victims of seismic testing?
The debate over high-decibel seismic testing is not just local.
Scientists in South America are researching whether it's the cause of mass marine life deaths.
In February of this year, thousands of dolphins began dying and washing up on Peruvian beaches.
During that same time period, BPZ energy was doing a seismic survey in the same area where the dolphins had turned up.
The mystery surrounding their deaths continues to be a subject of discussion among many in the scientific community.
It's a tragic sight.
Mission base for the Missouri Wing will be located at the Ike Skelton Training Site near Jefferson City, Missouri. Additional staging areas will be at Lee C. Fine Memorial Airport in Lake Ozark, Missouri; Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield, Missouri; and Malden Airport in Malden, Missouri.

Tourists shelter from the sleet under umbrellas as as they walk near the Tian'anmen Square in Beijing, capital of China, on Nov. 4, 2012. The capital city had witnessed snowfall and sleet since Saturday night as cold current swept north China and dropped temperature.
China has a four-tier color-coded snow warning system: red, orange, yellow and blue, red being the most serious.
By 10 a.m. on Sunday, the capital had received an average daily precipitation of over 58 mm, a post-1951 record for the city during China's Nov.-March winter period, according to the Beijing Meteorological Center.
In the Fenghuangling region of Haidian District, the snowfall has lasted for over 40 hours and brought the maximal precipitation to 96 mm.
"With a complicated distribution of precipitation, this process is bringing greatly different effects to citizens living in various regions of such a a large city," said Sun Jisong, the center's chief forecaster.

Vijayawada received 17 cm of rain since Friday evening, constituting nearly 20 per cent of its annual rainfall. This has forced the authorities to suspend train and bus services.
Flood waters entered Vidhyadharapuram, HB Colony and Kabela in Vijayawada. Although the rain had stopped, water did not recede as Budameru, a stream, was discharging 8,000 cusecs of water. Drains in Vijayawada that empty into Budameru were blocked due to silting. Municipal Commissioner G. Bhaskar said that many areas in One Town were inundated as garbage had blocked the drains.
All the 70 gates of Prakasam Barrage across the Krishna were lifted and 49,000 cusecs of water was being discharged in the morning. The flow, however, came down to 29,000 cusecs by noon.
After Toronto yesterday, the Strange Sounds are now reported in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Strange noises were heard about 20 times from ~11pm to 12:30am, so during the night. People in the neighbourhood also heard them. They seem genuine to me and are similar to Strange Sounds heard in Bloomington, Indiana 2 years ago. Pretty weird and scary!

Wednesday on The O'Reilly Factor, two weather experts debated Al Gore's claims that global warming was to blame for Hurricane Sandy's wrath. Gore said, "The storms are getting stronger. The stronger storms are getting more frequent. And you know, this is the second time in two years that part of Manhattan has been shut down ... But the evidence is now so overwhelming."
Joe Bastardi, chief meteorologist at WeatherBell Analytics calls Gore's claims "stunningly ignorant or stunningly deceptive." According to Bastardi, such storms are nothing new, "In the 1950s 10 major hurricanes ran the eastern seaboard. Six hit the Carolinas northward in two years."
The East Coast is still reeling from the devastation brought on by Superstorm Sandy. But as the mass clear-up begins, forecasters are already warning of a powerful new nor'easter storm front coming in from the Atlantic, bringing 45mph gusts of wind mixed with snow and rain.
The beleaguered coast line is expected to face the storm from Tuesday to Thursday - potentially casting a shadow over Election Day. At least New York City and the surrounding area may escape a beating, as forecasters expect most of the severe weather will hit northern New England - meaning it should land hundreds of miles north from where Sandy reached the continent.
However, New York and New Jersey can expect frigid winds and rain as hundreds of thousands remain without power and homeless.
A nor'easter is a powerful storm that thrives on cold air. Severe nor'easters can bring hurricane-force winds and blizzards.

"The bodies of these people, mostly men, were found in various regions of the country," he said without elaborating.
A weekend cold snap and heavy snowfall across Poland caused chaos on the roads and left about 70 000 people temporarily without electricity in the region surrounding the capital Warsaw. Last winter, over 100 mostly homeless people and alcoholics died of exposure in Poland.
