A massive whale recently washed up on a New York beach. This sad sight has become more and more common. What could be causing this?

People are shocked when they see whales along the coast of New York State. New York waters host several different species of marine mammals.

According to the DEC, the waters have Blue Whales, Humpback Whales, Sperm Whales, Fin Whales, Sei Whales and even dolphins. It's a real treat to find anyone these mammals in the wild since they are all endangered on a state and federal level.

Sadly it is becoming more coming to see these large creatures out of the water.
