Federal authorities are examining a humpback whale that was found dead on a beach in Nassau County, trying to determine how it died. VMurdockTV has learned NOAA had been tracking him for four decades.
Since late last year, several whales have washed ashore in New York and New Jersey.
Scientists were hard at work on Lido Beach on Tuesday morning taking samples for a closer look at the life and death of the majestic creature. Heavy equipment was digging in the dunes to create a final resting place. "I think it's just tragic. It's amazing to be able to see up front, but we'd love to know what's causing this and, hopefully, it's something that maybe we can understand and comprehend and prevent from continuing to happen," said Rosie Angeles of Island Park.. Many questions surround the cause of the seemingly extraordinary number. Andrea Gomez with NOAA Fisheries spoke with CBS2 about Luna and the other recent whale deaths.
