NOAA said the gray whale was first spotted in Laguna Beach in March. At that time they put on a satellite tracker. It eventually failed and they lost track of the whale, but it was again spotted on April 3 — and now on Tuesday.
The whale has a gill net around its tail. It's very skittish and the Marine Mammal Center was out there checking the whale out. They tagged it so they could continue to track it.
