A dead humpback whale washed up on a beach in Stonington, Conn. on July 23.
He said the whale would be pulled out to deeper waters if the carcass is too decayed to determine the cause of death.
Humpbacks are listed federally as an endangered species. Federal officials say the best estimate for its North Atlantic population is 11,570.
Marine animal strandings have increased steadily in recent years as populations of some species have grown under the protection of federal laws, according to Mystic.
