A 30-foot dead gray whale was spotted off Huntington Beach on Thursday, Feb. 8, 2024, likely washed ashore by the storms. Huntington Beach resident Eric Meyer was riding his bike near Seapoint Avenue in Huntington Beach when he spotted what looked like foam from the waves, he said, but as he got closer it was a 30-foot, decomposing gray whale., which spans from Alaska to Mexico and passes Southern California along the way – it’s the longest migration of any mammal on Earth.
Researchers with the Pacific Marine Mammal Center were taking samples for a necropsy Thursday, while lifeguards were assessing whether to tow the whale out to sea, bury it or have it taken to a landfill, Viezbicke said.
