A gray whale that set a record for time spent in San Francisco Bay has died, as did another whale that washed ashore last weekend. There have been an estimated 314 whale strandings from 2019 to 2023 in the US so far.
The whale, who had been spotted in the bay for at least 75 days, a record for its species, died as did another whale that washed ashore last weekend at Agate Beach, about 13 miles from Point Reyes, the release said.
A team of 11 scientists conducted a necropsy on the 39-foot record-breaking whale and determined it died from malnutrition and multiple suspected vessel strikes, according to the center. The second whale's cause of death is unknown. Measured at 37 feet and deemed healthy, the whale had no signs of trauma, according to the release.
