A dead porpoise has been seen on Golden Sands, at Whitehaven harbour. Reports also suggest that another has been washed ashore at Flimby.
A spokesperson from Whitehaven Coastguard said:
"We are aware of what looks to be a deceased porpoise washed up on Golden Sands in Whitehaven.
"The council are being made aware to have it removed. Please don't be tempted to touch it or allow your dogs near it as it will be teaming with bacteria."
