A whale was found washed ashore Thursday morning at Cowell Beach on California's Central Coast, according to CBS News Bay Area.

Santa Cruz city officials and marine mammal response teams responded to the scene around 9:30 a.m. The whale was severely underweight and showed signs of long-term illness, marine mammal experts said.

The beach area around the whale was closed off to the public to allow responders to work safely. Officials urged people to respect the perimeter set up around the site.

Marine mammal experts and city officials are coordinating to remove the whale from the shore before an incoming storm later this week, CBS News Bay Area reported.
