A dead humpback whale is pulled to the beach off of 19th street in Sea Isle City, Friday, Sept. 16, 2016. It is one of more than 200 that have washed up on the Atlantic Coast since 2016, , according to a federal tally.The tragic and recurring trend of large whales washing up on the Atlantic Coast has not stopped.
