http://wtkr.com/2017/11/26/dead-whale-spotted-in-water-near-chics-beach/This is the 4th Humpback death within a 5 mile radius of my crib within the last year.
It's cheaper to see these magnificent creatures this way, rather than pay the whalewatcher boat and there's no strict times to be at the dock.
Last year we were able to walk 3 blocks to view a fairly large female . As a bonus, our 7 yo granddaughter was able to see and smell the real deal instead of looking at a picture book.
The news always reports primarily the cause of death is unknown , but even though we aren't whale doctors saw the evenly spaced 6ft x 3 ft deep gash slices over its length from some Liberian flagged rustbucket propeller. Possibly authority figures do not want the city to be famous for being the epicenter of extinction .
Apparently the humpers don't have a squeak word for world's busiest shipping lane. Remember the 80s game Frogger?
Activist are clueless how to stop it, other than some kumbuyya or silent prayer for justice Karma ,or worse threatening not to give a crap anymore

Still no word other than they said it hadn't eaten lately and they took it to the landfill but no prop marks evidently.
