Maritime New Zealand has confirmed there are four dead whales on Papamoa Beach.
Department of Conservation staff and Maritime New Zealand wildlife teams are on their way to the beach.
Two Gray's Beaked whales were stranded on Papamoa Beach last year.
Two adults and two juvenlies have been found 2km east of Papamoa east.
Spokesperson Sian Routledge says they believe the stranding is not due to the Rena.

Whales strand all year..in almost every country..for reasons UNKNOWN to man. I fail to see any connection between the Rena and 4 dead whales.
stop over reacting

It's ok Baysurfer, Kaveman relates everything to the Rena. Whales strand for various unknown reasons, maybe they are trying to evolve :-)
Yea Right.

Are these the same people who assured us there were no dangerous chemicals on the Rena?

maybe the Rena was trying to evolve aswell, by attempting a walk over the reef.
