Newspaper Page TextA2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2019 Whale watching returns to the coast Snake eel rescued in Long Beach The Daily Astorian Chinook Observer Whale watching and education opportunities return to the coast during the Spring Whale Watch Week beginning Saturday . To celebrate the more than 20,000 gray whales expected to migrate north past Oregon over the next few months, volunteers with the Whale Watch- ing Spoke Here program will take up stations at 24 sites along the coast from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. Locally , volunteers will be posted at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Washington state’s Cape Disappointment State Park, at the Peter Iredale ship- wreck in Fort Stevens State Park, at Ecola State Park near Cannon Beach and at the Neahkahnie Mountain historic marker near Arch Cape. The volunteers will help people spot whales and also keep count of the number of whales passing by. LONG BEACH, Wash. — Good Samari- tans on Thursday rescued an unusual semi tropical Paciﬁ c snake eel on Long Beach . Candace Woodbury found the eel buried in the sand far inland from the water’s edge. Concerned and curious about what type of eel it was, she called the Seaside A quarium. ”We were very surprised to ﬁ nd out that it was a Paciﬁ c snake eel (Ophich- thus triserialis) an animal which has never been seen on the Washington coast,” the aquarium’s Tiffany Boothe said. The eel was mostly bur- ied in the sand but had been out of the water since the tide went out. Burrowing into sand is routine for this species that dines on things like clams, however, they are usually found at depths between 25 feet and 500 feet. Paciﬁ c snake eels ordi- narily range from Peru to N orthern California. Oregon Parks and Recreation Department Gray whales migrate up the West Coast during the spring, providing many opportunities for whale watchers. Gray whales migrate from the south each year after wintering in warm lagoons off the coast of Baja, Mexico. Many of the whales are accompanied by their new calves and are heading to feeding grounds in Alaskan waters. The ﬁ rst large groups of whales pass by Oregon in mid-March and the migratory stream typically continues into July. Some whales, however, go no farther than Depoe Bay and are referred to as resident gray whales. The Whale Watching Center in Depoe Bay will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
