• Gray whales are dying at an alarming rate — what's behind the spike (thecooldown.com) — A recent whale stranding on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula is part of a troubling spike in gray whale deaths along the West Coast, with at least 19 strandings reported this year. Scientists link many cases to malnourishment tied to changing Arctic ice and shifting food supplies, and officials are urging residents to promptly report any distressed or stranded whales they see.
