Whale slowly dying
It has been stated by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, that by the late morning, hundreds of people had already gathered along the shore in order to get a glimpse of the whale.
Gretchen Lovewell, who is the manager of the Mote Marine Strandings Investigation Program, told the Herald-Tribune that the agency received a call about the whale being observed on a sandbar roughly 150 yards away from the beach. Lovewell added that the complaint came in at approximately 8:30 in the morning.
Afterward, the whale proceeded to the sandbar that was located in closer proximity to it. The whale, which must remain in deep oceans in order to survive, is gradually dying, according to Lovewell’s research. The whale must remain in these waters in order to survive.
Observations of the whale’s respiration are being carried out by researchers from a variety of institutions, including Mote, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Clearwater Marine Aquarium, the University of Florida, and the Sarasota Dolphin Project, as reported by the Herald-Tribune.
