The small whale carcass appeared on the shore near Tower 5 north of the Pismo Pier, attracting numerous seagulls. The tide pulled the small whale back into the ocean later Sunday, and it has not washed back onto the beach since.In the aftermath of the federal government auctioning off three offshore wind energy sites 20 to 30 miles off the coast near Morro Bay, Equinor brought its survey vessel, Island Pride, to the Central Coast from Norway in April.

The lawsuit asks the court to revoke survey permits and not to allow any new permits until proper mitigation and protections are in place.
