  • An estimated 3 million short-tailed shearwater (Ardenna tenuirostris) died along the Australian coast, as well as unknown numbers at Lord Howe Island and New Zealand. Necropsies on 172 birds found that 96.7% had eaten pumice with some having thirty small pieces in their stomachs. They were underweight and had poor muscle mass, indicating they were unable to feed properly in the Bering Sea. Starvation may have resulted from a pumice raft from a 2012 underwater volcano north-east of New Zealand and a three-year, marine heatwave in the Bering Sea known as The Blob.[2]
