San Fransico Bay Cetacean deaths

Date: 2025, May 7. USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Treasure Island. Dead female Gray whale. The 38-foot-long whale showed no obvious signs of trauma or injury and had been feeding recently.

This recent death brings the 2025 total whale deaths to six, with over 30 seen in the bay this year alone. Only one fatality showed signs of a ship strike. In 2024, only 4 Gray whales were seen, with two deaths recorded.

An unconfirmed report from Mexico says: "In Baja California Sur, at least 94 gray whales have been found dead so far in 2025." I think this number includes other baleen species. I'm working on obtaining official figures. 

Once again, for those not familiar with my other posts, two large meteor airbursts were detected by NASA over the last six months in Mexico's Pacific region. See map below. Combined, they had the energy of 5.8 kt or 5,800,000 kg/TNT.
