are they chasing Pacific whiting, maybe? Or racing to meet the squid migrating down to central CA from Alaska? Or are they just having fun?

The U.S. had best keep the ChiCom fishing fleets out of Americas waters because if we don’t they will vacuum the oceans clean of sea life.

Just like they do where ever their fishing fleets go.

Oh!I forgot they also dump their trash and fishing lines and nets at sea so the critters get strangled by their trash.

Environmentalist are not ChiComs that’s for sure.

Yeah, that’s from a Beluga whale relocation story. Google search made it look like it was associated with the dolphin stampede.

I was thinking, that is one fat dolphin. But he looks happy.
