VANCOUVER — Another dead grey whale has been discovered off the British Columbia coast, marking the 10th such discovery so far this year.
The Fisheries Department says the latest whale was spotted floating in the waters off Cape Scott Provincial Park, on the northern tip of Vancouver Island on Saturday.
The sighting was reported the next day, and the department says in a statement issued Thursday that it’s hoping the whale will be spotted again in order to locate and secure it.
Of the 10 whales discovered this season, three were found dead in a span of two weeks last month near Haida Gwaii, another four bodies were discovered in April near Vancouver Island.
