The True Story of Inky the Whale

The True Story of Inky the Whale

U.S. Coast Guard
0/5 ( ratings)
The story of Inky, a female pygmy sperm whale who was found stranded on a New Jersey coast beach on Thanksgiving Day 1993. She was rescued with the help of volunteers from ;the Marine Mammal Stranding Network and US Coast Guard Helicopter. Scientists at the National Aquarium in Baltimore discovered her stomach was full of plastic debris, which was keeping her from getting the nutrition she needed. The story of Inky is important because it shows how our trash impacts the environment, sometimes far away from where we might think. Although this story has a happy ending, many mammals, sea turtles, fish and birds die every year from eating or becoming entangled in marine debris. The purpose of this activity book is to teach children about the problem of trash and marine debris through the story of Inky.
