ABOUT 40 dolphins have died after beaching themselves on a remote Western Australia beach.

The marine mammals were spotted early this morning on a 30km stretch of coastline between Black Point and the mouth of the Warren River in Dentrecasteaux National Park, south-west of Pemberton.

Officers from the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) were called to the site after a dolphin was found stranded at Black Point.

A spotter aircraft then found up to 40 more dolphins, all of which appeared to be dead.

5. How far can they possibly go

before they ever realize that putting man-made materials and devices in the oceans is killing everything that calls those oceans home?

It breaks my heart and I'm practically in tears to think of those animals that end up killing themselves because of the selfishness of man.

I somtimes have the hardest time believing in God when things like this happen and are allowed to happen.

Where is God? Where is justice? Where are we without compassion?
