The Guardian Newspaper is reporting a Minke whale has washed up on Cavendish beach. It's not reported in the article, but i think i heard that this is the third Minke whale to wash up on PEI shores this summer.

From Guardian Newspaper:
An eight-metre female minke whale that was found dead ashore in Cavendish Beach this week was transported and buried Wednesday.

The beached whale was reported to Parks Canada at about 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Here is a CBC report of a Minke whale washing up back in June. I cannot find references to a third whale washing up..

A followup CBC article about this whale points the finger to fishing gear as a possible reason for the whale death.
