The Marine Mammal Center

We teamed up with artist @SarahCAndersen to spread awareness about how we can keep #MarineMammals safe 🌊 Distance is best for humans, pets and wildlife alike, especially since many come to shore to rest or care for their young 🔁 RT to help spread the word and follow for more!

The public can play an important role in protecting whales and helping our experts by reporting sightings through our website or via the WhaleAlert app at bit.ly/3rLEJMo. If you see a blow 🐳 GO SLOW!

The #GrayWhale spotted dead in Pinole this weekend has been found floating in the San Francisco Bay today near the Oakland Harbor. It is in the process of being towed to Angel Island thanks to our partners at @USACEHQ for a future necropsy, date TBD due to poor incoming weather.

Our experts and partners @calacademy can confirm two additional dead #GrayWhales were sighted in San Francisco Bay this past weekend, bringing the 2026 total to four dead gray whales in the Bay Area so far. 📷 Josie Slaathaug © California Academy of Sciences, NOAA Permit #26532

Coordination with partners about where to potentially land the dead whales, if feasible, is dependent on eventual resting locations due to unpredictable tidal patterns. At least 6 whales were sighted at one time in the Bay by our cetacean team last week.

The dead whale wedged under pilings at the Phillips 66 Refinery in Rodeo from March 25 remains in its current location. Experts identified the whale as a male in a moderate state of decomposition. An exact age class, length and further details are still unknown.
