A beached whale was spotted along the shore in Delaware on Sunday.
The animal was discovered at approximately 11 a.m. after reportedly beaching itself near the Indian River Inlet Bridge.
A representative of the Marine Education, Research, and Rehabilitation Institute said the whale is a sub-adult fin whale.
The whale is roughly 50 feet in length and is extremely emaciated, according to the MERR rep, which may indicate an underlying condition.
Fin whales are an off-shore, deep-sea species that would not typically come near the shore unless they are weak, according to MERR.
Sadly, the representative said the whale was likely very close to dying.
Rev. Al Sharpton calls for diversity in Delaware courts

Pike Creek Republican state Rep. Mike Ramone says he won’t seek reelection to the House of Representatives this year, opting to run for Delaware governor, instead.
Ramone announced his intentions to run in the First State’s gubernatorial race during an interview with a Delmarva radio talk show on Friday, explaining that he plans to file his candidacy on Monday.
Ramone in a news release from the House Republican Caucus sent out Friday announced the Republican incumbent would not seek reelection to the 21st District seat in November.
Ramone, who currently serves as the House Minority Leader, expects to relocate downstate, which would prevent him from retaining the seat. Plus, the release stated, Ramone expects to run for governor.
“I was uncomfortable seeking a new House term under those circumstances,” he said in the release. “While I am excited to kick off a new venture in the coming days, I will certainly miss directly serving the citizens of the 21st District.”
DELAWARE GOVERNOR’S RACE: GOP chair says she’ll run, setting up a Republican primary race
Ramone’s intentions to run for governor on the Republican line sets up a three-way primary for the ticket in September. Delaware GOP chair Julianne Murray says she will run for state governor and intends to file May 8. Meanwhile, Republican gubernatorial candidate Jerrold Price is on the ballot having filed his candidacy for the seat in December 2023.
The future of the 21st District
Ramone, who was first elected to the seat in 2008, narrowly won his reelection in 2022.
Two Democratic candidates are vying for the seat: Michael Smith, a former legislative aide and substitute teacher – not to be confused with Michael F. Smith, who is the District 22 representative, and Frank Burns, a climate activist and biotech entrepreneur who unsuccessfully challenged Ramone in 2022.
DELAWARE GENERAL ASSEMBLY: What seats are up for election? Races take shape
Along with serving as the House minority leader, Ramone sits on the administration, ethics, rules, legislative council and veterans affairs committees.
Ramone thanked his constituents for allowing him to serve them for the past 16 years.
“Your support over the years has meant the world to Lisa and me,” he said. “My family is forever grateful to each of you.”
The race for Delaware governor
The Republican contenders for governor will face one of three Democratic candidates for governor in the general election Nov. 5.
Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long, New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer and former Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control Secretary Collin O’Mara are all vying for the Democratic line.
ELECTION ISSUES: Rev. Al Sharpton returns to Delaware to rally voters, demand a more diverse court system
The Democratic candidates as well as the only filed Republican candidate for governor, Price, have been invited to a gubernatorial forum on Delaware’s education system hosted by Vision Coalition of Delaware at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, at Polytech High School near Woodside. This is the first event featuring the gubernatorial candidates to be held in Delaware.
