According to the Grassy Sound Marina, the responding officers said they received reports of a dead whale offshore about a week ago.
A dead humpback whale roughly 25 feet long was discovered under the docks in North Wildwood.
Tom Roberts says he never expected to see or smell a large dead whale during his weekend trip to the shore."You usually don't come to work and see a whale sitting across the other side of the lagoon from you," added dockmaster Nick Otton, who was one of the first people to spot the massive whale.According to the Grassy Sound Marina, responding officers said they received reports of a dead whale offshore about a week ago.
"This particular whale we think is the one they spotted off Sea Isle and Avalon," said Jim Mooers, owner of the Grassy Sound Marina. It's still unclear why the whale was stranded. Scientists at the beach believe it may have been hit by a propeller."It's been quite a tourist attraction today. We were the whale watching center today of Cape May County," said Mooers."We've had a lot of dead animals wash up here; otters, raccoons, things like that over the years, never a dead whale."
