Abstract

The article details the investigation conducted by Rob Deaville of the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP) of a dead fin whale washed up on the shore of of Red Rock Beach in Devon, England in September 2016. Topics discussed include the starvation of the whale, Deaville's discovery of cuts and abrasions along the whale's tail, and the conclusion that the injuries limited the whale's movement and prevented it from diving and feeding properly.
