Whoever wrote this knows nothing about people who study our oceans. Whales dying by the hundreds would be noticed world wide. It wouldn't be only a handful of people in the world that knew something strange was going on.
Also, the story can't seem to pick an angle: Natural Creature or Always been here; Psychic powers; Science or Science Fiction.
Also, why is everyone in the series, aside from the central characters, utterly oblivious? Whales dying; Squid showing up like never before; Global Climate Change, How is it no one is noticing!?
