Around 2,000 penguins have appeared dead on the coast of eastern Uruguay in the last 10 days, and the cause, which does not appear to be avian influenza, remains a mystery, authorities said.
TL;DR nobody knows. It has happened in smaller numbers but not like this. People think over fishing (but a similar event previously in Brazil with no known cause)
I’m waaaaay out of my waters here, but if I had to take a wild guess: over fishing, changing of chemistry of the oceans do to climate change and yeah rising of median temperature (as we can all feel) of the world … in summary: my guess is human activity.
This is what I meant, and in a broader sense, we just leave it at: scientist are baffled and do not know the answer when I think we all know damn well, almost sure it has something to do with human activity and the disruption it causes in nature.

The higher the temperature the less oxygen in the water

Sounds like a good place to start looking for answers, at the very least.
