Disoriented Giants Are Stranding: When Whales Wash Ashore | Full Documentary
Whales are among the most intelligent creatures in the ocean - yet when they come close to our shores, their lives can change dramatically. Again and again, whales are found stranded along coastlines around the world. In 2016, thirty sperm whales beached on the North Sea coast, and images of the dying giants shocked scientists, the media, and the public alike.
Other species show equally unusual behaviour: bottlenose dolphins stray into the Baltic Sea and approach humans without fear, while a rare Sowerby’s beaked whale became trapped and eventually starved. Across the Baltic and North Sea, as well as in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and off the Canary Islands, whales are increasingly under stress.
Recent events in Germany highlight how urgent this mystery has become: a young humpback whale repeatedly stranded in the Baltic Sea, struggling to escape shallow waters and sandbanks. Cases like this point to a deeper problem - many whales appear to be losing their sense of direction.
In Whales Off Our Coasts, marine biologist and wildlife filmmaker Florian Graner sets out to uncover what is causing this global pattern. From underwater noise and shipping traffic to environmental changes, this documentary explores why modern oceans are becoming increasingly difficult to navigate - even for the largest and most intelligent animals on Earth.
