Humpback whales are experiencing an 'unusual mortality event' along the Atlantic coast because of the 'elevated' number and inconsistent causes of death.
This January, another juvenile whale washed ashore in Assateague
Like 'Pivot,' the whale that washed ashore on Jan. 20 was most likely a juvenile humpback whale, as Hawthorne said it was about 21 feet long and weighed about 15 to 20 tons. "We were seeing an increase in strandings throughout the region," Mendy Garron, marine mammal emergency response coordinator for NOAA said."And there are certain criteria we use to declare an unusual mortality event, you know, increases in stranding through time and space, unusual findings for cause of death ... those kinds of things.", along with human activities like vessels and fishing, have contributed to the deaths of Humpback whales in the past.
