Another dead whale washes up on Pacifica beach
Yet another dead whale washed up at a Pacifica beach in what has become an inexplicable summer trend, marine officials reported.
Beachgoers observed the carcass of the humpback whale at Esplanade beach on Sunday, said Laura Sherr, spokeswoman for the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito.
“Personnel from California Academy of Sciences and the Marine Mammal Center will keep an eye on the carcass and the tides to determine whether they can safely perform a necropsy,” Sherr wrote in an e-mail.
The whale that washed up Sunday is just the latest in a string of mysterious dead whales found in the area.
