A dead gray whale was discovered off Alameda South Shore Beach, marking the fourth such incident this year in San Francisco Bay. This event follows a series where four whales washed ashore in a short span, which scientists find unusual. The whale was identified as an adult female, and efforts are underway to carry out a necropsy to investigate the cause of death after it drifted from nearby beaches. A juvenile minke whale euthanized earlier due to erratic behavior highlights ongoing concerns for marine mammals in the area.
The recent sighting of a dead gray whale off Alameda marks the fourth such instance in San Francisco Bay this year, raising concerns among scientists.
