A 42,000-pound fin whale washed ashore in Potter Pond in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, on Feb. 29, 2024. The juvenile female had to be euthanized after responding agencies determined the fin whale could not dislodge itself from a series of rocks on the shoreline. Monica DeAngelis, a marine mammal biologist at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport and a certified volunteer member of the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, hopes that through studies she conducted biologists and engineers can learn more about collisions between marine mammals and U.S. Navy vessels.
