• A team from the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society performed a
necropsy Tuesday afternoon on a dead minke whale washed up on Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett. The whale was confirmed to be 18.7 feet in length and “was fairly decomposed and missing many
internal organs, including the reproductive organs, therefore the sex
could not be determined,” according to the AMCS, which has sent tissue samples to a pathologist to attempt to determine cause of death. The results of the pathology testing could take several months. The whale was removed from the beach for disposal by the Town of East Hampton.
