    National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and OPRD are aware of a dead humpback whale that washed ashore at Nehalem Bay State Park Monday morning, May 27. NOAA is working to determine cause of death but results may not be available for a week.

    The whale washed ashore near a snowy plover management area. Oregon’s beaches are protected nesting grounds for a small shorebird called the western snowy plover. This means there is no access to the beach from the dry sand area where signs are posted and pets are not allowed. Watch for special signs or fences during nesting season (March 15 – Sept. 15) and follow the rules to help protect snowy plovers.
