On April 23, the fifth whale in less than a month washed ashore in California’s San Francisco Bay Area. It was found near Fort Funston, according to the Associated Press, and as of this reporting, the cause of death on that particular whale has not been determined, but it’s likely it was hit by a ship.
Although the discovery of dead whales this time of year isn’t highly unusual, this number of them is. This is the time of year that is the beginning of the gray whale’s migration north, and California can be both a good place to see them and a bad place for boats to hit them. At the end of March and beginning of April, four dead whales were found in just nine days.
