A dead whale was found washed ashore along Washington's outer coast on Tuesday, the fifth gray whale stranding along Washington's coast this month alone. Wildlife officials have been investigating an unusual rise in the number of gray whale strandings since 2019.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , there have been at least 100 gray whale strandings from Mexico through Alaska every year dating back to 2019. There have been 63 so far in 2023. NOAA has declared these whale strandings an Unusual Mortality Event . There was a growing hope that the unusual mortality event was nearing its end, though this month's increase in mortalities could play a role in determining that. Washington would see 4-6 whale stranding in a normal year – we've seen that number in June alone.
In 2019, there were 216 whale strandings reported from Canada through Mexico. In that same year, 34 were reported in Washington state. That number has started to gradually decrease throughout the years, though stranding remain above the normal numbers.
