Mystic Aquarium's Animal Rescue Program in collaboration with Atlantic Marine Conservation Society and Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management necropsied an adult, female, minke whale on August 11th, 2022. The carcass was initially washed up in Charlestown, RI on August 8th, 2022. Due to the logistics and resources that go into these large-scale events and the remote location, the necropsy was performed a few days later. Necropsies are vital to the conservation and protection of species and are able to tell us what is going on in the environment and the threats that these species are facing.
