PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — New Jersey State Police said someone discovered a dead whale Sunday morning, stuck underneath a wooden platform in the Hereford Inlet.
That area is off of North Wildwood, just south of Stone Harbor in Cape May County, New Jersey.
State Police said someone found the body of the whale under a dock of an abandoned home near the Grassy Sound Marina. A witness from the marina said the whale was a 25-foot juvenile humpback.
Once high tide hits, New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife crews were scheduled to remove the whale.
The Marine Services Bureau asked boaters to avoid the area until the whale is removed.
The Marine Mammal Stranding Center, based in Brigantine, asks you to call (609) 266-0538 if you find a stranded water mammal.
