Mass death of eagle rays caused by stormy weather

Stormy weather my ass. Probably caused by that 5G tower they put up in the bay last month. Coincidence? I think not.

get a grip mate, not everything is 5G. It's called wind and waves.

Jack Morrison2026-07-18T23:53:52.000Z

lol you're one of those. whatever.

Poor things, that's so sad. Nature can be brutal sometimes.

Stuff2026-07-19T00:18:52.000Z

your eyes. Wake up.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-18T23:43:52.000Z

So it's not a disease or pest. Just a storm. Good to know the experts ruled out the scary stuff at least.

Bloody weather getting worse every year. More storms, more dead marine life. But nah, climate change isn't real they say.

wonder how many got caught in the storm and thrown onto shore. must've been a massive wave surge

Jordan Bell2026-07-19T00:52:52.000Z

probably more like coastal development messing with their habitat. Storms just the final push.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-19T00:56:52.000Z

yeah exactly. Had a mate on the coast said it was wild that night. Poor rays didn't stand a chance.

Studying marine biology at Vic, this is actually quite common after big storms. Their bodies are pretty delicate. Sad to see though.

Reese Morgan2026-07-19T00:47:52.000Z

ffs another thing to worry about. First the kauri dieback, now eagle rays washing up. What's next?

Saw a couple on the beach this morning. Breaks your heart. At least the clean-up crew is doing a good job.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-19T01:44:52.000Z

them for doing it. Volunteer work like that is what keeps our beaches clean.
