Beached juvenile Gray Whale on More Mesa, California

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY - Beach-goers may want to avoid one stretch of More Mesa in Santa Barbara County after a dead whale washed ashore earlier this week.
At last sighting, the carcass of the juvenile California Gray Whale was rolling in the surf near a cove, but not for long; crews plan to dispose of the remains sometime Saturday.
Michelle Berman, Associate Curator with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, conducted a simple necropsy on the carcass Wednesday, but said the remains were too decomposed for good samples.
Berman tells KEY News, “I didn’t see any evidence of human interaction. No entanglement on her, bruising, or evidence of ship strike.” Berman says chances are the young whale died of disease or wasn’t feeding well.
Santa Barbara County Animal Services is helping coordinate the disposal of the carcass, since it beached on private land.
A tow service has been hired to take the remains back out to the Channel Islands so it won’t strand back on the mainland again.
