I think migration is the cause of the problem,
because when they migrate they don't have the time to eat or because the reason why they are migrating is that, the food is abundant in that particular hemisphere, or because In both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, in the summer the blue whale populations migrate towards the pole of their respective hemisphere into cooler waters to feed. They migrate back towards the equator, into warmer waters, in the winter to breed. due to migration, they get exhausted and don't have strength to continue,
and some big fishes have scars which indicates that it had been nibbled by scavengers, including sharks.

Just as healthy sea-life avoid danger to certain sound signals sent out, perhaps signal generators could be strategically placed to warn them away from areas they could be stranded. We have light houses for humans, why not for sea-life?

nature is there for us.. and God give us the obligation on what were going to do with them.. I believe people are not aware of this.. that what we did to there habitat shall cause a lot of serious problem.. throwing garbages, factory waste materials, and harvesting corals for human sake and decoration could cause water pollution.. without that nothing can harm the water it self.. pursue the law that can push people doing what is right for the water.. engage a plan that monitors water living thing to there safeness... I as an individual should want to see some efforts and implementation in the near future... those endangered animals together with all living things deserves to feel love and comport from as the most intellect animals in the world the human...

There are documented cases where rescued ones have gone back to their normal life. Also it is not possible that 100s of them fall ill at the same time. Though your point that they strand voluntarily is interesting, it might require elaborate study.

The vast majority of stranded cetaceans strand for a reason. They are ill and often dying. You cannot and should not attempt to stop them stranding out of some misplaced sympathy for thier plight. The fact is that a very high percentage of stranded cetaceans are not suitable for refloating and efforts to do so, while making their rescuers feel better, cause the animals untold stress and suffering. The exception to this may be mass strandings, where the majority of the animals may be saved.

You are looking for a solution to a 'problem' that in most cases does not exist. In the majority of cases is perfectly natural for whales and dolphins to strand and die.

I think many times, marine animals strand because they are directly affected by viruses or because viruses affect the "leaders" of pods. These affected leaders are then followed by apparently healthy members of the pod, for no reason to strand, except that they are following the affected leader. My hypothesis is that healthy-followers are always the ones that can be returned to the sea while those that were directly affected, rapidly perish or have to be put down for humane reasons...
