Liz Slooten couldn’t believe how many dead dolphins she was seeing. It was 1984, and the New Zealand-based zoology student was just beginning to study the smallest and rarest dolphins in the world. Now corpses were washing ashore in alarming numbers. Most were found entangled in fishing nets. For others, the cause of death was a mystery.
“We started asking the question, what the hell’s going on here?” Slooten remembers.
More than 40 years later, she’s still asking uncomfortable questions.
