Well that’s an absurd amount of any dead animal to wash up onto any coast

Sea too warm for them?

It seems like the opposite. The sources in the article are pointing to over-fishing leading to less resources available for these penguins to feed on, and ultimately they are not able to store enough fat reserves to protect them from the winter sea temperatures.
