The festival takes place along the coast throughout March.
Right now gray whales are heading north, many with new calves in tow, and in Mendocino County that means it’s time for the Whale Festival!
“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.
