On Tuesday, Aug. 14, a male sperm whale, estimated at 50 feet was towed to an offshore dock near the College of the Atlantic. The whale was found dead and floating off of Schoodic Point by a local fisherman. Allied Whale, the marine mammal research program of College of the Atlantic, was subsequently contacted. Allied Whale is authorized by NOAA Fisheries to respond to all marine mammal strandings from Rockland, Maine north to the Canadian border. Marine mammals are federally protected animals in the United States. College of the Atlantic crew secure the sperm whale for towing.
