On 07 October 2022, Cascadia Research assisted The San Juan Marine Mammal Stranding Network, The SeaDoc Society, and World Vets with the examination of an adult female minke whale found floating dead near Lopez Island earlier in the week. Significant necropsy findings indicated blunt force trauma consistent with ship strike as the likely cause of mortality.
