Sperm Whale Kogia sp, unknown species, was found stranded at Costa de Oro Beach. The whale had multiple wounds whose origin was not possible to determine.

It is necessary to mention the constant operation of shrimp trawlers in the area where the animal was found.

These vessels, which operate illegally even in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), cause severe damage to marine environments and to many animals associated with them.
