Beached humpback whale in White Rock, BC

by

Ariana (PC 38, BC) went to a sandy beach in White Rock (south of Vancouver) where a humpback whale was beached today.  She sent the photos below and the information that Vancouver Aquarium staff have suggested that the whale was entangled in fishing gear and likely starved to death. A very sad story.

    Love and grief shall be used for this dearly departed whale. Save the Riggt whales, orcas, and humpbacks.
