Humpback whales have stuck around off California’s coast, leading to restrictions and a modified fisheries schedule.
“I can be very scientific, but it breaks my heart,” the Noyo Center’s stranding coordinator said at Sunday’s necropsy.
A necropsy of tissue samples from the whale could help researchers determine its cause of death, the Noyo Center said.
Researchers remind the public to never approach a dead marine mammal.
