It's always really sad to me when whales, dolphins or such beach themselves but especially when it's a bunch of them. Makes me worry if there's some environmental or other hazard causing it.
Ironic you mention this. AP just published a report of an angler in Florida who hooked a 1280 LB. Hammerhead Shark.
And it's ironic that you posted that, as I just logged in here to post a link to the story here. And there's a link at that place to see a video of the giant hammerhead.
"An 18-year-old Kahaluu man discovered about three dozen hammerhead sharks washed up on shore yesterday behind his home on Kaneohe Bay."
Whenever I see something like this, I can't help thinking that it might have been caused by some idiot out there destroying the reef environment by using chlorine bleach as an easy way for catching fish.
Well if any of you have ever been fishing at Heeia pier..then you'll know that area has tons of hammerheads...the old fishermen over there used to pull up 4-5 sharks every time I went fishing there...I'm assuming those fisherman stay longer than me...so they probably take maybe 8-10 a day...

There was a decent piece on this on KHON. The prevailing theory is that they were dumped there after being accidentally caught in improperly unattended nets. They indeed interviewed a fisherman who reported catching them by the dozens, daily.
Now the carcasses are rotting away, a few yards behind homes. The city says the state's responsible for clean up, and the state says it's the city's job. Of course.
