I have identified several earthquakes that might have been responsible for the recent mass stranding at Farewell Spit, Golden Bay, South Island, New Zealand. See http://www.deafwhale.com/stranded_whale/2009/pilotwhales_nz_Dec2009.htm I need help identifying the pilot whales that stranded on North Island. Are these long fin or short fin pilot whales? Any help would be appreciated. D Williams Deafwhale Society, Inc.
