DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service are asking boaters to notify authorities immediately if they see a dead whale floating at sea.
Each year, approximately one to four sperm whale carcasses drift ashore in Hawai`i, particularly in May and August. Data also suggests they are coming into Hawaiian waters from east and north directions, which results in most carcasses landing on the windward side of islands.
William Aila, Jr., DLNR chairperson, said, “It is critical that we do our best to keep these whales out at sea to avoid attracting large tiger sharks close to shore. Fishing is also good around these carcasses, and by notifying DLNR and NOAA early, we can take the necessary steps to tow the carcass back out to sea, which can extend these opportunities and benefit public safety.
“Although summer is peak season for sperm whale carcasses, other large whale carcasses, like humpbacks, make their way to shore throughout the year.”
To report a floating whale or any marine mammal incident, call USCG channel 16 or the NOAA marine mammal hotline at 1-888-256-9840.
