Original warning text

The NMFS Stranding Coordinator for CA contacted the NOAA SSC to report a 25-30’ Gray whale carcass that had come ashore near Carlsbad, CA on 15-MAY-2019. No field necropsy is anticipated, so the carcass may be towed offshore on/about 16-MAY. 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 33.155N 117.352W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 9902: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/9902
