Original warning text
Blue whale carcass; Long Beach, CA. Long Beach, CA. 1. The NMFS Stranding Coordinator for CA contacted the NOAA SSC to report an 80’ Blue whale carcass found within the Port of Long Beach on 03-JUN-2019. No field necropsy is anticipated, so the carcass will likely be towed offshore on/about 04-JUN-2019. 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 33.748N 118.218W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 9911: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/9911
