Whale Strandings Rise Tenfold on Southwest India's Coast

Imagine whales are like big, friendly ocean animals.

Scientists have found that more and more of these whales are ending up stuck on the shores of southwest India.

This has grown a lot in the last ten years!

The scientists think changes in the ocean and things people do, like fishing and boats, are part of the problem.

Also, the whales are drawn to the coast during the monsoon because of increased food availability.

Scientists are now suggesting that we create better systems to help the whales, like networks and alerts to keep them safe.
