"Looking ahead, tribal members will decide together what to do with the animal’s usable remains. Its blubber, for example, might be used for soap, fuel or oil, while its bones may become part of their tribal regalia."

A young humpback whale lies on the sand just yards away from their ocean home, volunteers freed it from the fishing netting it was tangled in and worked for 40 hours to give it a chance to return to the water.

There is a seldom recurring event on the Oregon Coast. This one did not have a happy ending, but we tried.

Farewell, child of the sea.

My first Post.
This was the fourth whale stranding I predicted in the last year. I've stopped giving "Marine Animal Disturbance" alerts or MAD's, on my blog and am now posting them on Bluesky.
I use meteor airbursts to predict strandings.
