“Everybody is concerned and there is what NOAA fisheries is calling an ‘unusual mortality event’ of humpback whales.”
It’s hard to think of an animal on the land, in the sea, or soaring in the air that has probably deserved more protection from mankind than the whale.
There was no immediate indication of what caused the latest death. The Marine Mammal Stranding Center, based in Brigantine, said it and several other groups were formulating plans Friday for a post-mortem examination of the whale’s remains before the animal’s carcass is disposed of, most likely through burial on the beach.“I’ve lived here for many years and I can’t remember the last time I saw or heard a whale washing up on shore,” said Robin Shaffer from Ocean City.
Additionally, two sperm whales also washed ashore. Some environmental groups are clamoring to halt offshore“The wave of dead whales is the ocean sounding the alarm and we must heed the warning,” Cindy Zipf, the executive director of Clean Ocean Action, said in a statement on Jan. 9.
