The whale, named Espresso by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), first washed ashore April 25 on Preston Beach in Marblehead.... They decided to tow her out to sea on May 2.

Moved 50 miles out to sea
... the whale was moved more than 50 miles out in the ocean, according to Swampscott town administrator Sean Fitzgerald.

But, the whale didn’t decompose as fast as NOAA had expected and, twelve days later, she landed on a beach near Blodgett Avenue in Swampscott.

We need Homer and Springfield to step up.

The Oregon State Highway Division knows how to deal with dead whales.
