Ijust read it now. I guess once they come up on the beach, it's possible for them to get a lot of damage to their internal organs. Or it could probably have been very sick already, otherwise why would it end up on the beach in the first place?

Wasn't there another whale recently which beached itself in Monmouth county?

[rockhopper]

There was one off shinnecock the other day, no beaching, but the guy took a video of it. Pretty cool.

I read about that, what a shame. I know a guy who was in the navy. He claims the reason that there are so many unexplained strandings is that the navy does a lot of sonar testing, and it's classified. When you have a bunch of mammals like that who end up being stranded, it could be a virus in ther body, sure. It could also be something that messed with their sonar, causing them to become disoriented. That's why when they are released, they frequently end up back on the beach. I can't prove any of this, but I thought it was an interesting theory.

There is a florida Manatee stuck in Linden Oil Refinery area. I think he has been there for a few weeks already. Has anyone seen him?

Rescuers plan to try to move manatee from waters near Linden

LINDEN -- A rescue attempt is being planned for Ilya, a Florida manatee stuck near an oil refinery in New Jersey where plunging temperatures and a lack of food are endangering his life.
The gentle sea cow has been known to marine scientists for 10 years as he made his way up and down the East Coast. He has recently been spotted in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maryland.

But today he was huddling near an outfall pipe at an oil refinery in Linden, the only place he could find warm water.

[Monty]

Yes, it would be a good "feel good story" to save him (not a lot of that lately.

i hope they save him it would be a shame if he dies its a strange thing that u dont see all the time i hope hes ok

[gjb1969]

so true we need some feel good stuff

I read that some humpback whales have been spotted in Asbuy yesterday. For the last month they have been sighted. If you have nothing to do with the family a ride to check it out may be in order.

[ledhead36]

Thanks I looked for them this morning but did not see any.

[finchaser]

yep they are feeding on the precious bunker,guess we need a bill or fund to ban whales from the Jersey coast or maybe give them a limit.

There were off of Asbury all last week. I think it was last Thursday, I just watched the two of them feed and feed. The ocean looked like it had a paved road going through it from Allenhurst to Asbury as the nervous bunker got tighter and tighter. It was one of those days I will never forget.
So much for even wetting a line that day.
Haven't seen them this week, but the amount of bunker has not been what it was last week.

Why stop at that, we could have "watch boats" to monitor their bunker intake. Any whales caught gorging more than their RDBA "Recommended Daily Bunker Allowance" would be electroshocked to cough up the extra. There are plenty of out of work people who could use a job as a whale monitor.

Blame it on the whales that there are less striped bass, hot diggety.
