“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.
The Lost and Abandoned Gear Removal Program will start pulling crab traps out of the waters off of Humboldt and Mendocino counties April 27.
The Noyo Center for Marine Science is hosting Whale Festival 2022 through the month of March.
