We were notified today that a female fin whale has washed ashore on Ten Mile beach in MacKerricher State Park. A necropsy will be performed to hopefully determine the cause of death and to gather as much information as possible about this whale. Only a blue whale is larger than a fin whale.
The Center for Whale research is happy to announce a new calf in L pod of the Southern residents orcas!!
L90 and new calf L128: Mom looks physically robust, and the calf is nursing and moving normally.
