There have now been a total of seven dead whales that have washed up on the New York-New Jersey coastline within about a one-month time span.

The latest whale was found washed up at a beach in Brigantine, while other dead whales were discovered on the Atlantic City coast.

The Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC), a non-profit dedicated to rescue and rehabilitation of stranded marine mammals and sea turtles, responded to was the whale strandings and provided updates to their Facebook page.

“More than 36 people, including about 25 stranding network members from MMSC, AMCS, Mystic Aquarium, and MERR Institute, were on hand to conduct a necropsy on the hump- back whale that washed up on the North End Natural Area in Brigantine on January 12,” MMSC wrote. “The necropsy team was able to obtain the necessary samples of tissues and organs for further laboratory testing.”
