The International Federal of Animal Welfare is reporting that another dead North Atlantic right whale has been found on Nashawena Island, south of Cape Cod.
According to their post on Facebook, the whale is very decomposed and their team, along with the National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration are trying to determine the cause of death.
This is the 16th dead whale found this year.
IFAW adds time is of the essence, and we must work together to determine how to best protect this critically endangered species.
