CUDJOE KEY, Fla. - Marine mammal rescuers were responding to a mass stranding of pilot whales off the lower Florida Keys.
Marine Mammal Conservancy chairman Art Cooper said Thursday evening that officials from the U.S. Coast Guard, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and MMC have located at least 15 pilot whales in three separate areas in shallow Gulf of Mexico waters near Cudjoe Key. One is believed to be a calf.
Cooper says responders are trying to gather the whales and move them to one location. He says it's not known why the whales stranded, adding that there are no visible injuries to the marine mammals.
Cooper says he had requested additional personnel support and resources from other marine mammal organizations.
