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.
