Mysterious Pelican Deaths Threaten Local Eco-System Last month, an alarming number of pelicans turned up dead along the coast of Santa Barbara. While officials have not been able to determine the cause of death, they believe that the pelicans may have succumbed to something in the local water or food supply. This event has raised serious concerns among environmentalists and residents alike, as pelican deaths could have a devastating impact on the local eco-system. Pelicans are an important part of the ecosystem, as they help to keep the population of sea bass and other fish in check. If the pelican die-off continues, it could lead to a sudden surge in the number of fish, which could upset the balance of the local ecosystem. It could also lead to an increase in algae growth, as pelicans help to consume large amounts of algae. Residents and environmental groups are urging officials to find out what is causing the pelican deaths and take steps to address the problem. So far, offic
Pelican populations decline by nearly half in 50 years A recent study found that the pelican population has declined by nearly half in the last 50 years. The main causes of the decline are thought to be due to hunting, coastal development, and climate change. Pelicans are large, aquatic birds that can be found in both North America and Europe. They live near coastlines and feed on fish and other aquatic animals. The study, which was conducted by the University of Aberdeen, used data from both North America and Europe to track the pelican population over the last five decades. The results showed that the pelican population has decreased by 47 percent in North America and 43 percent in Europe. The lead author of the study, Dr. David Coupland, said that the main factors contributing to the decline are hunting, coastal development, and climate change. He added that pelicans are "very sensitive" to changes in their environment and that they may not be able to adapt quickly
