Original warning text
Gray whale carcass; Solana Beach, CA. Solana Beach, CA. 1. On 30-JAN-2024, the NMFS Stranding Coordinator in CA contacted the NOAA SSC regarding a 35-foot-long gray whale carcass on Solano Beach, CA. The carcass will likely be towed offshore within 24 hours before high winds move into the area. NMFS requested a carcass drift estimate to aid in determining how far offshore to tow the carcass so it does not re-beach in the upcoming days. 2. THREAT: OTHER. COMMODITY: WHALE CARCASS. 3. POSITION 32.990N 117.278W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 10728: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/10728
